<p>The box is 14" and the scale length is 13", as you recommended in a previous thread. I once, in a previous life before NING groups about cigar box instruments ever existed, in my teenage years made an electric violin which much to my dismay had a totally incompatible scale length so I couldn't fit the strings on. So I made sure as hell this time that I paid close attention to the standard dimensions <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before</span> I started building.</p>

<p>I forgot to give a necessary shout out in my original post to all of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you</span> for starting this group. I wouldn't have done this project without the encouragement of seeing other people doing it and also being able to learn from other's experiences - priceless! I had such a good experience I think I'll build another :)</p>
