Ok, guys thank you so much for the response. About the 12th fret octave thing. Can some one elaborate, I've heard of this before, but never put it into action. Basically, you check the hormonic of the 12th fret and move the bridge up and down accordingly?
I've had this done on my banjo, but not sure how to do it myself. I think I was also told a spacing method about the bridge should be half way the distance from some fret to the other. Something like that?
Thanks again for the response guys and any future help with placing the bridge would be great.
Peace,

Ha, ha, so I checked it all out and when the intonation is set correctly the bridge is smack dab in the middle of the strumming area. Oh well, I guess I'll just chalk it up to a learning experience.
The guitar still sounds wicked in open slide tuning no matter where I put the bridge.
Thanks for all the advice. I'll get some video and pics up here soon.
Peace,
-B
