This turned into a test of extremes, though it wasn't meant that way... From left to right:- RtB#13, #16 and #14. Respectively 22", 26" and 18" scales, I doubt I could play anything outside that range, fingers being a)too short and b)too wide. #14 is GDG an octave up, while #16 probably SHOULD be EBE, but sounds pretty damn' eerie at GDG- so that's where it's staying. All three absolutely spot-on for intonation all the way up, proof that it IS possible to mark up a neck without a template- even if you're an old git like me!

Well Mr Pick sir, I'm sure the majority would agree with you. But from the perspective of a trapped nerve in the neck and a poorly left arm, 22" suits me just fine!
I'm a 24 scale man. the best for cbgs in my opinion.
nice
Thanks Dave- praise from the praiseworthy always counts double, y'know? Thing about them sound holes is coming up with an idea that works that is all straight lines (just a craft knife and a cutting board to help me). The three verticals is one I'll use again; it sounds great!
Nice roster of git’s I like the sound holes.
That's right Gary, nobody should apologize for their playing... except banjo players. :D
Nice looking gits Wal!
Fair point well made, Gary. But when I struggle to play an Eb chord because I can't stretch two frets, the scale is too long. Similarly, if I can't get all three fingers between the fourth and fifth frets, it's too short. The 22" actually turns out to be my Goldilocks scale, and with an A4 body the possibilities are endless!
Nice! But at the same time, AGP - - there's never a reason to apologize for playing slide!!!
"Nice Looking Builds Wal", I also suffer from the "Too Short - Too Wide Finger Syndrome", so play mainly all Slide :-D
