TheIRS Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 So this is going to be my attempt at a guitar take two! The first time around, I did not properly take scale length into account and I ruined a perfectly good guitar body. Now I have just started drafting #2 and I am wondering how to properly measure scale length so i can correctly achieve it this time around. Here is a picture of the neck i chose- http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/y...7_1948_15973269 It is a 24 fret neck that is intended for a locking floyd nut but i want to make it use a standard non locking nut. Thank you to all who can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Measure from the edge of the nut the strings break over (fretboard side of the nut) to the 12th fret. Double that; that's the scale length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheIRS Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thank you very much! I'll do that the moment the neck gets in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
