Bridge plate placement

Funny thing. A friend of mine thought my bridge plate looked too low. This prompted me to remember that my plan is a 25.400" scale, whereas my fretboard is a 25.500" so I'll have to compensate a little. But all my measurements suggested the bridge plate was exactly where I wanted it. Turns out I had the original plan tucked away and was using a copy. The copy was real close, but slightly bigger than the original. The original was right on 25.400" (measuring from nut to 12th gives half scale), the copy is extremely close to 25.5 ! Sometimes you get lucky by accident.
