Yeah, that's cool. Just checking. Thanks. Do you use a caliper?

Here's a question. Would the space between the trem and bridge always be the same? I saw an electric mandolin a while back shaped almost exactly like a mini Jag. I am thinking the distance between trem and bridge wouldn't change, but the bridge to nut of course would.

Yes...a caliper.

If a guitar is a 24" scale, it'll be exactly 24 inches from the (fret-side of) the nut to the center of the bridge. To establish the scale of a neck, measure from the same place next to the nut to the top of the crown of the 12th fret and multiply by 2. Easy-Peasy-Japaneasy.

yessir. Reranch...however, I no longer use Reranch.

Sorry. Would the distance between the trem and bridge be the same no matter what kind of guitar you put it on. Like if you put a Jag trem on a Strat or Tele, the bridge might change position, but you might still have the trem in the same relative position to the bridge. That's what I am wondering. I have an extra trem I would like to put on an electric mandolin. I might not do it, but I would be open to try it.

Was the Desert Sand a nitro?

Basically, the further away from the bridge the tailpiece is, the smaller the angle is that the strings go over the bridge- resulting in less string tension and more of that "janglyjinglytingly" string noise, but it won't effect the guitar's intonation or anything.

oh, I see what you are saying...no...the only thing important is the distance from nut to bridge. However, the closer the trem is to the bridge, the more "down angle" comes off the bridge which prevents the buzzing for which Jaguars and Jazzmasters are famous for, and that's why all other guitars have their trems so close. If you like that buzz, then place it far...if not, closer...but, it doesn't really matter. IMHO.
