R3ign Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 NO!!!!!!!!!!!! the scale length is from the nut to the SADDLES. use the calculator on stewmac - you can use mm too now you know what it is. the measurement it gives for your bridge is for the placement of the screws. that WILL be right. i use it all the time and its always right whether i use a vibrato, hardtail or wraparound use that calculator and it will tell you the distance of your last fret from the nut. with your neck in place, mark on the body where the last fret is and use that as a measuring point, its much easier than trying to measure all the way from the nut in other words, once you've made your last fret mark, delete the distance from the nut - last fret from the scale length, and you have the distance from the last fret to the bridge screws ok, i think i get it, (sorry not too good with mubers darn dyslexia ) thanks for being patient with me and helping me, i will try what you have just explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 axesrus will probably have some, 0.8 is just the standard size I think. If you email them they will give you the dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh94 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hello, this is my first attempt at creating a guitar and thought i'd make a matt-o-caster as they are too expensve to buy. i bought the body from america and it was made to the famous matt-o-caster shape its all mhogany so it should sound great. i also have a tele neck. the only problem i have now is getting the perfect finish on the neck stock and the body, here are some pics of my project so far: also, where would you reccomend i get the volume and tone pots. and what make P90 does Matt have in his d one guitar. How much did you pay for the Matt-o-caster shape ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
