You can mount it right on the plate, just make sure your block is solid enough to hold the bridge down securely? Take a look at Maddog’s page, he’s a master of the License plate cbg? Good luck on this  :)

Hi Vincent, I would always have the bridge on a flat firm surface for better response from the strings, better sustain. I aim for a bridge/saddle height of between 1/2" to 5/8", then adjust the neck angle to give the desired string action over the 12th fret, possibly 2mm for a non-slide setup.

I would set this up by having the saddles adjusted mid-way up so that you have height adjustment both ways should you need it.

I hope this helps Taff

Or use a wrap bridge/tailpiece that will be up off the surface.
