Thanks for the helpful instruction. I just bought a Firefly telecaster-style body with a Bigsby-style vibrato and Filter’Tron looking pickups. (Brand new $199). Thanks to your video I discovered that it has a movable bridge. I never imagined an electric guitar with a moveable bridge.
I used a B6C on my 5420T a great improvement, used a shorter spring in and that got the arm lower. On the Bridge, I used a Vanson Tunamatic with roller saddles, works fine and it lined up over the pickup great as well.
I think this was the video I was looking for. I watched a video some time back about aligning the edges/corners of the bridge with the tips of the f-holes. I just couldn't remember it it was the forward tips of the bridge or opposing tips to match the corresponding f-holes.
Remember that it's a starting point. On some guitars, the bridge may want to be a little straighter. Something I noticed recently, on another guitar with a bar bridge, which had deep slots, I was getting "sitaring" or "zinging", and straightening out the bridge just a little fixed it.

Cool! I actually swapped the tune-o on this one for a ricking bar bridge. It feels more "solid" to me.
Nice guitar

@@SeanKerns I went back and used the two front corners at the f-holes after I watched the video. Point on accurate. Tone and intonation spot on.
