@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

Hi @rocknroller912, Interesting. Does the table extend further down the page to giving the scale lengths? Cheers Darren

Posted by: @russ Do you still have any of you adjustable neck pocket templates? Hi @russ, Yes, I believe they are still on my eBay listing. As previously, if you purchase direct from me I will credi...

@darrenking I’ve just checked my book of violin measurements which is probably a good guide to the convention used for naming all instrument sizes. It shows that 3/4 and 7/8 are not an exact scale do...

Posted by: @darrenking am also working option kits for one piece neck fret slotting and also for extra wide fretboards, for 7 string bases for example @darrenking Sounds great Darren. Do you still h...

@darrenking i think one problem with scaling down the whole guitar to a smaller size would be string thickness and tension. A standard set of strings would be too slack tuned to standard pitch with a...

Thanks for the feedback @russ. A bit of digging on the interweb later and it seems that the sizes aren't anything like a direct scaling with 3/4 sized guitars coming in at somewhere around 90% of full...

@darrenking Hi Darren, the shortest scale length guitar template that I've seen for sale was a 22.5" I've seen mini guitars that have a scale length of just over 16" but never seen a template that sho...

Hi @wayne_f I tend to agree about the angle of the string from the nut to the tuner due to the wide headstock. If there is too much friction on the string in the nut slot this can make tuning, and sta...

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 hilario...

Hi @rathius, Nice job! It looks almost exactly like one that a friend of mine had back in the 80’s, same colour, pretty much identical shape, you’ve made a great copy! Where did you see the original? ...

Looking good and very unique

Nice Guitar thanks I loved their ribbons

@rocknroller912 yeah. It seems like a decent guitar. Some interesting decisions in the making of it.

@bpower ok I was a bit confused there. The Epihones were built to last

@rocknroller912 This guitar is not the one I'll be attempting to fix. I only posted the pics because I mentioned it above and thought it was cool/different with the neck attachment like an electric an...

@bpower Looks like a bad crack on the ribs under the neck joint. Factory made guitars can be a nightmare to take apart due to the type of glue used. The wood often splinters. I would try and inject s...

Finally got the chance to get down to our family cabin last night. As always, it finishes the night with a bon fire and music. It is always so fun. 5 acoustic guitars, a jambe with symbols, and we eve...
