This thread could also be in CBOM. I’m making a 5ths tuned 4 string instrument GDAE two octaves below mandolin with a 30.5” to 32” multi-scale or can-fret. I’m going to try for light gauges so for the low ‘G’ at 32” I’m thinking of trying a .60 first, i don’t think it will go any higher than a .80. How much extra length do I need to allow for proper intonation at the bridge? It will be a floating bridge but I need to design for its placement pretty accurately before I start.
