Setting 25.5" Scale Length (Part 4 of 20)

This video, made available by the STEM Guitar Project, was recorded at the Guitar Build Institute held at Aptos Middle School in San Francisco, California in 2018. In the video Steve Brown demonstrates how to measure and set the fretboard scale length during electric guitar construction. Topics covered include: measuring points for determining scale length, setting the bridge and saddle, some of the physics behind string vibration and scale length, burning an inch, the measuring process, and more. The video runs 6:03 minutes in length and is part of the STEM Guitar Project's 2018 Guitar Assembly Video Series. Additional videos from the 2018 Guitar Build Institute cover additional steps of electric guitar construction and are available to view separately.
