Have a gander at my build diary to see where it goes.
Remember the 25.5" is the point where the high 'E' will sit with the rest of the strings set back a bit.
Being your first build, use a pencil, so you can rub it out and do it over again.
Are you going to do the 'string through' or 'top' through the back of the bridge?
I would mount the strings through the back of the bridge first and make sure intonation is adequate and that the bridge is mounted correctly.
cheers, Mark.
Thanks Mark, I’m going to keep it simple and have the strings through the bridge. I’m not going to drill though the body.

Right plan of attack tomorrow then will be to clamp and re measure. Cheers.
