Thanks Delvero, William and Bouydog. The scale is right off the Regal. 23 inches even. It makes for a compact instrument. Easy slants for those Hawaiian chords. I just line up the Regal alonside my new neck and use a T square to transfer the fret markers. Then I use a knife file to file a groove through my varnish into the wood. It makes a nice contrasting lighter line.
