My first fanned build so I'm kind of curious how the bridge placement is usually done. On a regular build I place the high e to the scale length point and call it a day, but on my 28-26" build, when I place the high string saddle to 26", the 28" saddle is at around 27.75" when all maxed out without the spring.

Do you think this will become a problem? I have an idea if need be I can swap the high strings screws for longer ones to get more reach.

Bridge is a 26 degree Hipshot.

EDIT: I was *just* able to get it to 26" on high e and 28" to the low string without the spring. Now the problem is that the low string won't be able to fit through unless I modify the saddle somewhat, but I guess I'll take it.
