Today I was looking at my Vela and realized...

[Dusty Chalk]

I’m assuming a Bernie is a 24.594 scale, does that count?

Yeah, they introduced the 24.594 scale length with the 594, hence the name.

Thanks Dusty Chalk. Specs online give the Bernie as 24.5, I was making sure it had the all important extra .094.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Actually, 24.5.....not sure if that counts

Better get the 594 as well. No reason to risk upsetting the guitar gods

You’re enabling has gone into overdrive my brother!

The Bernie has a scale length of 24.5, not 24.594. If you want the extra .094 you'll have to get a 594.

Hey, don't laugh, that .094 was a well-thought-out and deliberate change. Now, I'm no luthier, so that's as far as my defense of said .094 will go, but don't go casting aspersions.

No laughing matter.

I’ve just recently started playing a 25 inch scale. I can’t believe how much easier the bends are in comparison to my years of playing a 25.5 inch scale.

So I take on board the scale length and am not making light of the .094, believe me.

I’m waiting to pounce @bodia style and when I do you guys will know!

Thanks I appreciate the reply.

@dsenoj i should clarify, I’m being enabled (encouraged) by @bodia to purchase a 594.

My initial question was “tongue in cheek” about the Bernie as it is more likely to be in my grasp, before a 594, which would be amazing!

Bodia is not the only enabler here. I had 1 PRS when I joined this forum. Think I'm up to 12 now with 2 594's. That's not counting the 4 PRS amps.

How about it? I showed up with one, maybe two...

Doing your best to separate a man and his winnings on a different thread though “Sergio the Enabler” nudge nudge, say no more!

That's no lie! I had two when I joined. I'm up to a sh!t ton.
