Ronnie Retherford said… - If you have a guitar, copy the scale length from it. I used a thin aluminum bar from Lowes, laid it on my Martin (one end up against the nut) and marked the fret positions.
You can get templates here: http://www.scalelength.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=68
The 20 inch scale is a free download. I used it to make this guitar: http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/albums/4-string-cbg-5
