*For an explanation of the Gibson scale length changes over the years see www.stewmac.com
Note: The scale length of a guitar is always twice the length from the front of the nut (or zero fret) to the 12th fret. Measuring the distance from the nut to the saddle(s) is not exact because the saddles where moved during setting the intonation.
