Just wondered if the set up was any different for the Crusader? For example the bridge placement! Could not find any info on the Stelling web page.

Thanks

MIke

The bridge to 12th fret spacing is a bit longer than the other Stellings because of the straight nut and the compensated bridge. With the compensated Stelling bridge, the distance from the 12th fret top center to top center 1st and 4th string bridge is 13 5/16."
	Geoff Stelling says: 12/14/2013 12:57:55 PM P.S. Mike The Crusader scale is slightly longer which necessitates the longer 12th fret to bridge spacing than other Stellings. Geoff
	banjoman717 says: 12/14/2013 6:50:44 PM Thank you Geoff. I did not buy the Banjo new. I thought it was all original but mine does not have a compensated bridge that I can see, but it is a stelling bridge. its a 2006 model i beleive, well it has you signanure on the dead with the date beside it. I thiught Stelling had Compensated nuts? Anyway thanks for the help! Mike

	Geoff Stelling says: 12/15/2013 2:01:37 PM Mike, It seems like you need a new compensated bridge from us to make your Crusader play and sound right,\. Geoff
	banjoman717 says: 12/15/2013 2:07:20 PM Yes looks like Ill have to get one. Will I also be able to get a new banjo setup sheet for it there? Mike
	Geoff Stelling says: 12/15/2013 2:19:23 PM Yes, If you request it, we'll send a new set up sheet for your Crusader. Geoff
