@michael-oconnor Welcome Michael. For me, repairing/customising is a more daunting task than building from scratch so you're a brave man to be taking on that job first. Hope all goes well. Post us som...

@darrenking If you add neck stop and body stop together, where I’ve marked in red, then that’s the scale or string length. Hope you can read the page ok. Violin type instruments and early guitars evo...

@darrenking Yes I will try and get a better photo
