Bridge Angle?

[look2thehorizon]

I'm working on designing my first project and am wondering if anyone knows the angle that the bridge needs to be mounted at (compensation) to allow for intonation setting. I'm doing a TonePros bridge with thru-body as opposed to a tailpiece. I could guess by trying to measure other guitars, but if there is one thing I've learned so far, close enough is never close enough!

If it matters, I'm doing a 25" scale length and 1 3/4" wide at the nut. Any help would be most appreciated...

Thanks,

Not neck agle, bridge angle to allow for intonation setting. Would a drawing help?

Ah oops...reading too quickly.

But this one has been covered many times too --just do a search. Lots of info on this site, you know.

Anyway, this is what you need then --fret scale calculator-- they'll tell you exactly where to position the bridge and how far back to angle the bass side.
