thanks again fender3x,
only difference we see is that the pick ups are different position, and of course the 4 strings instead of our 5 strings.
so, all is measured up to be drilling the screws to mount the bridge plate as we found the 34" measurement.

just a question while we are here... the 2 pickups require 4 screws each and we find 8 long screws packaged with 8 springs. would these springs be to raise or lower our pick ups into the body of the Guitar as in Suspension for the pickups and to lift the pick ups from the wires out of the pick ups so the pick ups sit level?

this is where we are at.
