3/4 Size Guitars

darrenking · 2022-06-21T22:05:48Z

Hi peeps, Now this might sound like a completely stupid question, although not on a par with asking when metric tape worms were introduced to the UK (my wife is a parasitologist and found this hilarious!!). My question is whether a 3/4 sized guitar is as literal as it sounds ie a perfect 75% replica of the full sized version. The reason I ask this is that I am thinking of new scale length templates that I could offer Togo with with my fret slotting jig. I have never seen a 3/4 sized fret slotting template even mentioned anywhere, much less be offered for sale. Would it be cool to have a mixed guitar type template which gave slotting options for perfect 3/4 sized copies of, for example, a classical, a Martin steel string, a Fender electric, a Gibson electric, and a short bass? Oh, that’s only five. Ok, so I might have to squeeze in one of the Maccaferri scale lengths! Big surprise, I know!! Unless anybody has a better suggestion. What do you think? I’d love hear your thoughts. Keep safe and, most of all, be happy! Cheers Darren

Mandolins manage 22 frets on a 14" scale length

The very cool sounding Emerald Guitars Amicus (short scale 12 string) has 22 frets on an 18 inch scale length.
