That end grain looks superb.
As for standard MM style bridge I reckon they are pretty good and better than most Ric lookalikes as they are solid and provide more fore & aft travel of the bridge saddles.
Scale length is best measured 34" from inner side of nut on treble side to mid point of G string saddle, ensuring there is still a little bit of forward adjustment available, but more important to have lots more aft adjustment available for low end E string saddle.
