I am considering converting a 6 string dobro to 7 sting. How do builders lay out the strings on the bridge of a 7 string dobro? The 4th string, if centered, would be where the space between the saddles for the tension screw is.

We use an offset spider and a single piece bridge. Our string spacing at the bridge would be 11.5mm, 8.75 at the nut.

Hope this helps.
