I did download all the explorer plans, will take them in to get processed soon If I am understanding correctly, set all the saddles on the bridge, say 75% extended, to allow for some scale shortening for intonation correction maybe. measure scale length off the saddles in that position. I went to a music store today and they all were saying 50% extended saddles, but that seems a little short if another factor gets off a hair. Oh and I am going to get that book yall have been talkin about. thanks for the help all.

Gonna start my first guitar project premade carvin bolt neck Explorer body Strat style hardtail bridge, 5 mount hole, or maybe a hipshot. 25 1/2" scale where is the scale length referenced on the bridge ? How far out do I mount the bridge ? On another guitar I have the fixed bridge edge closest to the pickup is 24 1/2" from the fretboard side of the nut.
