Hotrock Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I'm not sure about it being the right scale length for an explorer, but it is a standard scale length EDITED DUE TO BEING WRONG AND TALKING RUBBISH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Fruit Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I'm not sure about it being the right scale length for an explorer, but it is a standard scale length (PRS us it). Am i being an idiot, or dont PRS use a 25inch scale? Its probably just my mind goin crazy! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange Fruit Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Yeah, Fender uses a 25 1/2 inch scale. And they gotta be doing something right. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Am i being an idiot, or dont PRS use a 25inch scale? Nah, you're probably right! Jimmy, just ignore me. I'll edit the post when we know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page_Master Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 hi there fender scale= 25.5" gibson scale= 24.75" prs scale= 25" the original gibson explorer scale is 24.75". apparently james hetfields esp explorer is 25.5" though. [i am not sure but everyone seems to say this on the esp forums] but the standard esp explorers [not the ex, i am talking about the ones back in the day before gibson had a court battle with esp guitars to cease production of the gibson explorer shape that esp used to make.] it was as normal explorer scale, 24.75". but no worries dude, most esp explorer freaks are hetfield freaks, so naturally they are going to add a 25.5" scale. it's a normal scale, so it is cool.

Teles, strats and i THINK jazzmasters are 25.5 (25 1/2) scale length Other Fenders are different though Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krizalid Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 hai, i just want to ask something. i saw the ads for yamaha drop6 and its 26 1/4" scale length. i think its cool to have something that is not in the normal scene and i just wanna know, how long is this 26 1/4" in mm? BTW, i agree with you soapbarstrat. the early mettalica sounds is really a hell on earth whereas the new one... i don't really understand it.

soapbarstrat Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 26.25 inch = 666.75 millimeter I use this site a lot : http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm I would always double check using rulers, when marking it out on wood. Oh ****, it's got '666' in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Oh ****, it's got '666' in it. Oh no! Satanic scale length! The scale length of the Beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
