so here's the route done - not as difficult as I imagined. P/U's are fitting nicely now. As far as scale length.....I've measured from the nut to 12th fret = 12 11/16 inches, so measured the same from the 12th to the saddle - lots of play in the saddles, so just wanted to make sure I'm on the right track. I know the scale length of a tele is 25.5, and 2 x 12 11/16 is a bit longer, but this should be fine, right?
