I've been setting up my first kit but I'm running into issues when attempting to place the bridge. When I measure it out I seem to have an extra 1/2"-3/4" (12.5mm - 19mm) more than what I should. The length from the nut to the twelfth fret comes out to 12 3/4" (323mm) but even when extending out the saddles as far as they will go I still get about 13 1/8" (333mm) from the twelfth fret to the saddle. Because it's a telecaster bridge the pickup route prevents me from moving the bridge at all, and even if I were to cut out more room for the route the pickguard would still prevent it as the bridge would then overlap the pickguard. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've spoken to a representative at Pitbull and they say all my equipment is correct, so I can't figure out why my measurements are so wrong. I've included some pictures for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first build so I'm still learning.
