Then - as Bruce says - add another 1/8" for the offset on both sides and there you go. Now - you can lay out your neck and fretboard as well as your saddle slot and bridge pin spacing. You will have a much lower risk of ending up with a string spacing 1/4" wider at the saddle than you planned....
This is also helpful. I've got a lot to draw! Why do I have to change plans.. thanks Truckjohn
