Hey Barge. I measured a current same kit and nut to 12th fret 323mm. With Bridge butt up to the guard and saddle settings out of the box 12th fret to low E saddle was 325mm and high E was 323mm so spot on. Have plenty of room to move the saddles further away

Yeah well I'm looking at 330 from 12th to saddle so there goes my new bridge. Just to top it off I went to enlarge the cavity last night only to discover I can't get the rabbiting bit out the router GRRRRRRR.Originally Posted by wokkaboy
I didn't even bother checking scale length when I first un-boxed it thinking everything should be cool, but this has turned out to be a real prick this far along in the build.
Are the saddles wound forward Barge? I noticed the supplied bridges have changed

so no joy with the stock bridge Barge ? I'll check the measurements of mine, say from start of neck pocket to the start of the cavity to confirm. Unless your neck pocket is too short and giving a higher distance.
I've never had this problem on every one of the 24,000 ST kits I've built

ok Barge I'll check tonight the distance. Which part of the neck pocket are you measuring from, where the neck heel butts up to ?

Hey Barge I only just saw this. Is this a faulty kit? Maybe we can send you another body? Looks like you put a lot of work into it.
