Bridge Setting Tool

John, back in 2006 I bought a "Bridge Location System Tool" from you that indexed the saddle slot from the nut.
Haven't used it in a couple of years but getting ready to glue down some bridges using it. I can't recall if any compensation should be added to the scale setting on the rule. I thought I might have added +1/16" on the previous guitars but don't really remember.

I made an additional slot for making a 27" baritone scale. Current builds are 24.5" and 25.360". Any tips?

I add 1/10 in to the scale length

Thank you very much. Great tool. I like that you can index against the end of the fingerboard or against the face of an installed nut.
