BJD Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 My 1954 Gibson LG-2 has a 25" scale length. I need information about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Pretty sure they were 24 3/4 scale, although there has been “ variability”. This one was written up and the author says he measure 24 7/8. https://jakewildwood.blogspot.com/2016/09/1954-gibson-lg-2-flattop-guitar.html what I would really suggest is that you email Don Ruffato at Gibson in Bozeman, with pictures, and ask him? or wait for our own author of Kalamazoo Gals to weigh in… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once had a '51 LG1 with a 9-3/4" fretboard radius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcf Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 How did you measure? Measuring from the front of the nut to the center of the 12th fret and multiplying by 2 will give you the scale length. Measuring from the front of the nut slot to the saddle will be longer than the true scale length. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
