Could anybody tell me how the scale length on Fylde guitars is measured please. Is it from the Nut, which I presume it is or the Zero fret.
Cheers,
Steve.

I don't have a Fylde guitar in front of me, but I'm sure it must be from the zero fret, because that would be the scale length.

On a zero fret guitar the scale length is 2 X the length from the zero fret to the 12th fret.

It has to be the zero fret, that’s the start of the scale, From there, as above, it’s two octaves to the saddle.
