Just measure from the "Nut" to the "Bridge" and that is the "Scale Length".

By magnifying the picture and using the brass part of the 1/4" plug as a reference, it appears to be approximately a 24" scale.

Yes, the bridge def looks the same as this old EMU. The headstock does not, but coulda been modded I guess. Yours doesn't have the custom added K1 grandkid treatment however. :lol: :lol:

FWIW, this one has a 23" scale. A lot of these things had no identifying labels other than the Electromuse script on the pickup which is the case with my piece of art here. ;-)

Electromuse

In 1950 my father gave me a new Electromuse which I still have. I see similarities with your guitar.
