Scale Length

Scale Length

 

The length of a guitar’s scale is the distance from the leading edge of the nut to the saddles of the bridge, more precisely to the high E saddle. An easy way to determine the length of the scale is to measure from the leading edge of the nut to the 12th fret, and then double it.

Gibson 24 3/4” (24.75”) Conversion Neck
Designed to bolt directly on to a standard 25 1/2” scale body, this neck will NOT require any modifications to bridge placement or the body overall. A conversion neck is a quick and easy way to convert your current Fender-scale guitar to more of a Gibson feel by lessening the string tension and reducing the distance between frets.
