EMGs? Ebony? and what, 8 strings?

I overlapped them in Photoshop, and holy hell, the Stef models' scale lengths are exactly one fret longer than the FM-408's. Now I guess the question is if we have a 27" and a longer one or a shorter one. That first picture of the thread (the FM) did seem to show a 27" scale guitar, though...

* TomAwesome is hopeful for a longer scale length

Well, I'm all for it, I like the 28.625" scale, but his rationale for the nomenclature was misappropriated, inside scoop or not.

Hehe, well I tune down to low Eb and beyond, so I'm a bit pickier

I think 28.625" would probably be about the optimal compromise between letting me tune that low without ridiculous gauges and not making my high strings unusable.

zimbloth · 01-08-2008, 06:49 AM

I hope it's 27". I've had zero problems in F# w/ 27", and I think something above 28" would be unfair to those who may want to tune up (perhaps G-C-F-Bb-Eb-G-C-F or ADGCFADG). I also find the frets are far enough apart as is. That's why long scales should have fanned frets. Since these don't, I really hope it's 27.

i gotta agree with nick. while i <3 me some 28.685 and such, you gotta consider those whackos that wanna tune up :mesometimes:

nikt · 01-08-2008, 07:00 AM

it's signature model. and Stef is tunning down so he rather don't care about those that will tune it up
