Gustav	Re: measuring scale length nut to the 12th fret X 2. should work on any string, however I believe the PRS nut is 1/64" closer to the 1st fret at the high string and 1/32" closer on the bass side(from the PRS lute patent 1980 I think) . I don't Know what the nut comp is with the felton system(the felton patent does not mention the PRS patent I believe that is a Big Patent NO NO). FWIW the high string total lenght is the closest to the true scale leanght most of the time.
