scale/intonation, etc.

[__Robbo__]

hello again..

with regards to the scale length and intonation of guitars.. when building a guitar, say with a scale length of 25", does it effect where i would put the bridge, etc?

what are all the things i need to know so the guitar i build will have correct intonation?

thanks heaps

You want to place the bridge so that, with the saddles most of the way extended, the saddles are at scale-length from the fingerboard side of the nut.
