You can probe one of the bridge mounting holes in the Getty body with a piece of G string, bend it flush with the body when it bottoms out and then add the thickness of the bridgeplate.

Or get 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" long screws. I usually use #6 phillips ovalheads 1-1/2" long on Fender bodies since I like a slightly longer screw to bite into fresh wood at the bottom of the hole.

Anyone know the exact length of the screws that come with the BA II bridge, form the factory?? Thanks

If someone would be willing to take one out of their bridge and measure, that would be awesome.

Measured mine at 1 1/8"
