Different manufactures mark their bridges differently, and in the end its simply best to mic and make sure your self what actual size to put on. I hardly even look at markings anymore. For example take Grotrians.... they dont even use wire size markings... they use wire guage numbers. Some manufuactures dont even put anything on at all.
