trashmunky65 Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 hey, this is my first lp i'm building and i was wondering, does the scale go from the nut to the bridge or the nut to the stop piece? also what does putting the bridge at an angle do? Thanks for you time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 the scale is 24.75", from the nut to the bridge, and i'm not sure i know what you mean on the last one....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trashmunky65 Posted June 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 thanks man, I figured the last one out from another thread, thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 Actual LP scale is 24 9/16". Gibson's standard 24-3/4" scale is a compensated length based on a true scale of about 24-9/16". --StewMac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hy_dro66 Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 It's good to understand the difference between scale length and actual string length though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
