LaBella 760FS-XL ( extra long scale ) ?

[2saddleslab]

Anyone know how long from ball end to silk the XL flats are. I currently have the extra long scale chromes and I’m just not in love with the E string. I would like to try the LaBella extra long scale but need to know the dimensions from the end ( ball end ) to where to silk starts at the top of the E string. The chromes just make it so I would love to know before buying a new set of strings. I have a reverse tele headstock and is the reason I need extra long scale and the minimum from ball to silk would have to be 38”. If anyone with a current set of Thea can confirm that they are at least 38” then I should be good. Thanks so much for any help !!!

I custom ordered extra long flat wound E strings from LaBella. Let me see if I can find them and get some measurements for you. Not sure if these would be the same length as XL Flats but it might give you another option.

Will report back shortly.

UPDATE: these LaBellas are 764-F 110 E flats w/ black windings. They measure 48" from ball to end [typical]. From ball to beginning of silk is 37.5". The standard length is 36".

I have 3 unused E strings.
