Just found out about project guitar from Gray Bramwell at Graph Tech Guitar Labs. I am currently building a Les Paul junior single cut. I could really use some help in determining where to place the 24 5/8” scale line. The neck pocket is flat and I have put a 1.5 degree angle in the heel. Unlike using a hard tail bridge where I just measure the scale length from the nut I was told that because of the neck angle that the scale line would be a little further back than in a hard tail set up. Could some one please let me know how and where to make the scale line?
My second question is the placement of the studs for the Graph Tech ResoMax Sonic 1 bridge that I will be installing on this guitar. Unlike their other wrap around bridges this one does not have individual intonation screws for each saddle. It is a compensated bridge like the one on PRS guitars, it only has the grub screws on either end of the bridge to intonation the low E and high E. Once the scale line is established I am confused about where to install the stud post inserts,l could really use some help to properly place the posts. Should the be right on the scale line or the high E side ahead of the scale line and the low E behind the scale line? I would greatly appreciate some feedback on this subject before trying it on the actual body and putting them in the wrong place.
