I guess that's my dilemma. To intonate as normal (open string and 12th fret/or harmonic are in tune with each other), the G saddle is going to have to come forward, and perhaps past the travel capacity of the Vega-Trem saddle.
I'm converting a hard-tail body to install a Vega-Trem. I'm also installing an Earvana nut.
The compensated nut moves the nut slot for the G string the most... 1/16" forward, so the measurement to the 12th fret is 12.6875.
Double that to get the scale length and it comes out to 25.375 (1/8"...
