@boo Welcome. Usually with gibson scale I measure 630mm for scale line which is slightly longer, seems to work great.

@nsj That is perfect, exactly the info I was looking for. I was just going to try it anyway using a rough and ready quick build and see how things went. I’ll go for it now then. Cheers Neil 👍

@boo my ggbo build, the black limba neck through with binding etc. That's a 24.75 scale with floyd, works perfect. A lot of companies have been doing it for years. Post hole centres sit a 1/2 inch for...

The back is on, the neck is in, the finish applied, the bridge fitted. Now it’s time to tackle the wiring. Attachment : IMG_0366.jpeg To make sure I didn’t make any wires too short, or too long...

@somethingnicer . I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me! Your welcome. It'll work out just fine.

@robin awesome…. I think that’s my move. Thanks for talkin this through with me!

@somethingnicer Actually, now that I look at it, this doesn't seem too horrible..... I think the may be the easiest method to reshape on this line. Does that jive with you? That would certainly be ...

@somethingnicer That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down? Exactly that. Use an offcut from your body blank, you might ...

@robin That's an interesting idea. So to do that I would cut out a pickup shaped piece of wood and glue it in and sand it down?

@somethingnicer Or, you could fill in the bridge pickup recess and route a new one closer to the neck pickup. The bridge would maybe cover most of the filled in piece.

@robin You know I had that thought, I guess it wouldn't be horrible. Just cut a small curve off the top and sand by hand. I'd love to not if possible, lol

@somethingnicer Maybe you could reshape the body by cutting the end of the body back to let the heel protrude a bit and keep the crucial 25" scale length.

@robin It looks like My pickup and bridge spots don't match my original drawing. I think if my lower pup was a bit higher, this wouldn't be an issue

@somethingnicer Can I ask, which part doesn't match your drawing, the body or the neck ?

Hello all, So I'm going through my first build still and I'm running to an issue. Somehow I think I messed up my scale. My neck is mostly done and my pickups are routed and the body cut out. Problem n...

@liebe Thanks for the input Dan, I appreciate it. It’s good to know, I’ll look into it further. 👍

Hi @boo, I've not built one myself, but there's certainly PRS guitars factory made with FR bridges at 25" scale. I don't know if Gibson factory make them, but certainly seen LPs etc fitted with FR. I'...

Hello all, I wonder if anyone could answer this question please. Is it possible to use a Floyd Rose trem on a shorter scale electric guitar such as a 25” or 24.75”? I used to play with a guitar wi...

Wow! Well done that man! The web site is impressively uninformative but I’m going to assume that the pickups are traditional magnetic pickups in a funky retro cover. I should probably be following the...
