<p>Hi Taff, thank you kindly. the nut is glued into place and sits in a lowered ridge on the neck, but I guess it can be removed to shorten the scale. I lengthen the scale by just moving the bridge back nearer the tailpiece, the bridge is held down firmly by the heavy strings, but I can just loosen them to move it, which will be necessary due to my string gauge choice, once it hits 25 or 25.5 inches in length, I drop the Open D down to C, which has a great low growl.</p>

<p>Hi JP, I did respond a few days ago but fell into the "don't use Visual Mode cos' its broke " trap, in my haste to reply, and like some others could not be bothered to come back.</p>
<p>But I'm here now and wide awake..... That is an interesting build. How do you change the scale length? You say it's at its shortest at the moment.</p>
<p>I can see an opportunity/design to make the nut movable, and not have to move the neck stick out of the box. Enjoy.<br/> Taff</p>
