Why is the scale length longer than the total length??? I suppose that this is due to the length of the fretboard itself being longer than the neck proper.

Members silverbullet Posted December 6, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 6, 2005 So the scale length is the length of the fretboard, and the total length is the length of the neck... ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keNz Posted December 6, 2005 Members Share Posted December 6, 2005 Originally posted by silverbullet So the scale length is the length of the fretboard, and the total length is the length of the neck... ok. Actually, scale length is the distance from the nut to the bridge saddles. I assume 'total length' refers to how long the fretboard is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scale is like KeNz said--from the nut to the bridge saddles (scale length is the length of the string that vibrates when you pluck/strike it).

What part of the guitar doesn't vibrate when you pluck a string? And you're welcome, silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
