There are no 24" scale Stringmasters.
The early ones were 26" and the later ones were either 22 1/2" or 24 1/2" scale.

Ah yeah, I forgot. It's been awhile since I thought about that. I do prefer the 24 1/2" scale. I've got examples of each of the other scale guitars, but for whatever reason still dig the sound and feel of those with that scale.

Someone painted a tweed case black? That's WRONG!

Do you have any photos that you can post, Bob? Also what is the asking price?
Thanks,
Ron

Haven't decided what to do yet. Still need to drag it out take pics and measure the scale.

probably looking to trade for a nice, not student model S-10 with at least 3/4 and easy to convert to Day setup.
