<p>It doesn't look like that when I type them , they usually are so well written I fell like they are short literary masterpieces...instead it looks like a 10 year old writes my messages</p>

<p>I guess what I'm trying to find out Is the relationship between lengthening/ shortening strings and skewining the bridge front to back! </p>

<p>I take in all information and advice, sort through it and make my decisions. I've watched videos, read everything I can, but most of all I ask the ones who have been there and done that. This particular build that I'm working on is "very personal" for me and I only have "one" shot at getting it right because of the materials can not be replaced.

<p>no, i had eased it, I had said you should try building at 24 or 24 1/2 inch scale,</p>
<p> a 25.5 scale will make your neck bow or the strings will be too tight for a cigar box guitar.</p>
<p>I try not to post tips or how to build here on this forum because if other people build a certain way, i dont want to seem like I am saying there way is not good or what not, i dont mean that, i was just saying what would work well from my experience, </p>

<p>Thanks, I've got more pressing projects aka "honey do", But I'm managing to work on it a little at a time. Is there a more comprehensive explanation that you know of for setting up intonation. I've found bits and pieces, but not enough for me to understand the process.</p>

<p>If I pull the neck install off right (per Del Puckett) I should have a 3-4°+/- back kick that "would" require a high bridge (Gibson/L Paul style). My main concern is intonation. I think I can do a 28" scale with 17 frets by using a gate hinge tailpiece to cover the 5" or so distance. </p>
