Thanks
I'll set it up for 25.4 scale with 25.5 in the middle of the slot for the high E and 25 and 5/8 in the middle of the slot for the low E.

Re: Bridge Location
What distances to the high and low e strings should I use on a short 24.9" inch scale 000 guitar? Using John's numbers for a long scale, I would add .1" to make the saddle of my high e at 25.0" and add 1/8" for my low e, for a distance to my saddle of 25 1/8". But, am wondering if the added numbers should be smaller on a short scale guitar?
Thoughts, anyone?
