| I currently own three square-front Sho Buds ('79, '81, '82). All three came to me with short legs and matching pedal rods. The legs are all 22.5" rather 23.25". Is this a known late Sho-Bud thing, or has some mysterious force in the universe sent all of these short-leg Sho-Buds my way for reasons that will become clear when I pass into a higher plane of consciousness? |

That seems unusually short assuming your measurement from end of leg tip to where threads begin, not including threads.
My standard length legs measure 26 1/2 in. using those guides.
I have a Fender/Sho-Bud Artist D10 with standard legs I ended up crafting longer levers for instead, that I would have traded for 1 in. shorter legs and rods, but yours seem shorter than that. |

| Jerry, my measurment is from the base of the threaded insert to the bottom of the clutch. I opted for this since on one of my guitars the extending part of the leg goes all the way up into the main leg, so measuring from the tip on those is unuseful. |

| Ah, I see. 23.5 is the standard for that dimension so yours are 1 in. shorter than standard. Guess you are just unlucky...or lucky, depending on what you need. |
