    Thanks for the reply! I have ordered a separate bridge, not the Gotoh. I'll send you a picture when it comes. So should I get all the saddles in the middle and then measure it from there? I have two designs. The one I have currently which I redesigned with the Gotoh. (I essentially moves back the scale so the bridge is further backwards) or my other one where there is a larger space between the bridge and the fretboard) I am awaiting the bridge to do a further more accurate Drawing. Thanks R

    Thank you for your reply, I have ordered a separate bridge now. It's on it's way. I'll tell you when it comes and show you what it is.

    So would you say that they're a reasonable distance apart? I'm aiming for a rich deep warm tone in the neck and I guess a decent treble tone in the bridge but not too much treble for soloing. I guess it's hard to describe exactly.

    As shown in the image, there is my bridge and there is a clear line inside the template. That is the line where the strings meet the saddles. So yes I do believe my scale is accurate. So it wouldn't be too close together? That was my only concern. I did design this guitar off a Telecaster and a PRS.

    Thank you all for your kind posts to help. I fact I managed to sort it before seeing any of this. I rubbed out what I did and completely redrew it in the body; everything is in shape. However I'd like some clarification. I have drawn out a template of pickups and tacked them on where they should be. From centre to centre of the humbuckers (where the cross is), they are about 72mm apart. Is this is good distance or is it too close? The neck pickup is now 2mm away from the neck (which is what i wanted) and the other is about 8.5mm away from the bridge. So they're nice and close. There's an image attached. Please advise. Thanks all again for your responses earlier. Retuos

    QUICK EDIT*** I have measured the length on one of my prized guitars. It has the same distance. However on another it's super close together.

    Hello fellow guitarists! I have a slight problemo. I've been designing this guitar for a while and have just drawn in the frets. It's a 25" scale with 24 frets however they do not reach near to my pickups. In fact from where fret 24 is there is a 24mm gap between the fret and the pickup hole. The length from the nut to the 24th fret is bang on too. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this may have happened and if it is bad? Cheer, ~Retuos
