Yes, my first build. Nut to mid 12th is 9 1/2". From there to the bridge is 10". 19 1/2" nut to bridge. Not excited about moving the bridge..it's in there pretty solid. I can play first position chords in standard tuning and they sound pretty ok but the farther you go up the neck, the worse it gets...so i have it in open D and play slide by ear. Thank you for you interest and compliment.
Can't move the bridge enough without moving the pickups...and there are some major holes routed to accommodate them. Maybe I could move the bridge up until it touches the pups and get some improvement...but of course then I would have bridge holes to fill in and repaint...Can't believe I did anything so dumb...

Thanks Linda! Looks better than it sounds unfortunately. Intonation is off...live and learn!
