Is this to work our where to put new holes in the top to fit a new bridge, or do you just mean that you'll be able to get the new saddles in the right ball-park by measurement? I've never done this, but off the top of my head:
- Action/neck relief can affect intonation
- If your frets are worn they will intonate slightly differently from when they are nicely crowned
- Is your guitar correctly intonated as it stands? The measurement from the nut to the 12th fret is key.
- You'll have to properly intonate it by ear/tuner anyway even if you try to measure it exactly.
- Action/neck relief can affect intonation

Changing out my 6-saddle for a 3-saddle compensated bridge.
Thinking of measuring the distance from the last fret to the existing bridge to make setting up intonation of the new bridge a little easier/quicker - is there anything I'm overlooking here?
