Need some help

[FPSBelarus]

Hi! I`m using this site:http://tundraman.com/Guitars/NeckAngle/index.php , to calculate the proper neck angle I need for my guitar and it asks me to enter the height of the bridge. I don´t have my bridge here, it should come in a few days, but I need to know the angle now. So, anybody knows which is the standard height of a TOM measured from the top of the guitar to the highest point of the highest saddle(when the TOM is at its lowest position)?
Appreciae any help.
Thanks.

I don't know if it's standard, but on my new SG (Epiphone 1966 model), it works out to .375". That's figuring lowest setting as if there was no pickguard and the thumbwheels go all the way to the top of the body. However I'm not sure if they would or not.

On that calculator site, it's not clear whether "lowest position" is referring to slamming the bridge to the body, or if it's just the lowest viable position to produce a clear note with the strings on. I say this because my PLEK'd Les Paul TOM bridge from the factory seems to be averaging .650" between low E and high E, while the default value of that calculator is .625". Though I don't get what guitar those defaults are for. It's got a Fender scale length and fingerboard height, and a Gibson neck join and possible TOM height for the bridge? (Unless I'm reading all that wrong.)

I won't use the defaults, I have all the measurements except for the bridge height but I don't know if I should use that default measure. Are all the TOMs the same height or it varies? I mean, an ABR has the same height as a Nashville?(I plan to use a Nashville)
