...and onto build #2 which is the RCM-1 https://www.pitbullguitars.com/shop/...ic-guitar-kit/ complete with set neck and double humbucker pups, and importantly for this question, a Tune-O-Matic bridge.
I've finished the finish (no staining, just sanded and filled the grain with mahogany Timbermate and then a matt varnish) and while it cures for a week, I turn to the issue of setting the neck and ultimately being able to intonate the instrument properly.
Putting aside for a second the slightly extra length needed as the strings get thicker, I get that the measurement from the nut to the 12th fret must equal the measurement from the 12th fret to the bridge saddle but the question is:
Where do I set the saddle, and on which string?
For example, do I set the neck so the measurements are the same on the 6th string with the saddle set at full forward?
Thanks in advance.
