Re: Point of measuring on compensated bridge.
Usually if you are wanting to know the scale length you measure from the nut to the 12th fret and double it. Setting the bridge will be slightly more and will vary with each instrument and gauge of strings. Some mandolins the bridge may be slightly angled, some not. The saddle may use different compensation than another saddle. My bridge is slightly angled now as I have put on a heavier G string. I would prefer to make a new saddle with the G string compensated back further so the bridge sits straight, but haven't done it.
