This one is going to be my typical classical but with very unusual neck dimensions (for a classical).
24 3/4" scale (628mm) with a 1 11/16" (43mm) nut width.

Hey David,

Congradulation on that 100th guitar. Pretty cool number to reach.

I'm currently working on number 50, so I'm half way to where you are!

That's a BIG deal. Congrats! I should hit 50 in about a year. Don't think I'll live long enough to make 100 but that's my goal.

That's fantastic! Congratulations, David.

Let's see... divide 100 by my rate of production, add current age, pad a bit for unexpected slow downs... Eureka! Looks like I'll be starting my 100th guitar when I'm 378 years old. Cool!

100 guitars is awesome. [clap] I'm currently doing the same scale 24.625 to be exact, and nut, on my #1 archtop electric. Gibson Byrdland knock off sort of. Byrdlands accually had a 23.5 scale. I hope to get to 100 in the year 2031. It all depends on how long the wife can take it, pfft or if we help the kids with college. Right now guitars are winning. bliss I wish you 100 more. Jason
