Fodera Measurements

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi there. I would like somebody help me. I need measurements for a Fodera Imperial 5. Body and Neck. I have all the drawings, but need to up-scale them to size.
So i realy need just a couple of point-to-point measurements to be able to scale the drawings to the right size.
If anyone can help, it would be very much apreciated. Thank u in advance.

34" scale will be 17" from front edge of nut to center 12th fret
35" scale will be 17.5" from front edge of nut to center of 12th fret

Equal distance from center of 12th fret to bridge, this should give you dimensionally accessable scale to enlarge your drawings.
