Hey guys hope you all are well! In your expert opinion what is the best bridge placement on a 630mm scale classical guitar? This is what i have...51mm @ nut,61mm @ 12th fret, 315mm leingth @ 12th fret, 419.8mm @ 19th fret, 2.5mm radius @lower bout, 2mm angle on neck from 19th fret. I look forward to your reply!! Thank you

Well, I'm not sure I understand your question. To me the answer is pretty straightfoward: so that the saddle will lay at 632mm from the nut. If your neck joint is at the 12th fret, you don't have much choice.

What Alain said. Compared to a 650mm scale neck, the neck is shortened 1 cm, and the bridge will need to be moved 1 cm. Check your fan/brace placement to ensure that the outer end of the bridge covers what it needs to.
