1. I've gone with the chrome.

2. 325mm from the nut to the 12th. With the Bridgeplate pushed as far as I can towards the neck, and the saddles at full extension, its somewhere around 330mm from the 12th to the saddles. I'm hoping I can fix this issue with longer saddles perhaps?

I have to order some new screws for the bridgeplate as I got a bit over-excited and ruined the heads. At least I was able to get them out!!
