String lengths

[Carl Meyer]

I assume your asking about speaking length.  The answer is NO.  There are
usually great variations at the first few notes above the bass break and
again at any break.  Some dog leg the bridge at the break and some don't.
That will give a substantial variation.  Don't take much variation to change
a speaking length enough for one wire size.  Just measure them all.  I also
assume you are asking with regard to rescaling.  I wouldn't trust two of the
same model to have an accurate or identical speaking length.
