    Hi Kevin,
    The ESB-4SC is a hollowbody and therefore will have a floating bridge. You can use the scale length calculation to find the approx position of the bridge and then fine tune the position during intonation. From my experience, the tailpiece (trapeze?) can be screwed in the centre of the back along with the strap pin to allow the outer strings to be laid over the bridge first for positioning and intonation.

    If you swap to a tuneomatic floating bridge, then I suggest using the stewmac fret position calculator to calculate the bridge's initial position.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
    Gav.
