My 2005 SL2HT = 1 and 5/8 (measured at the horn where the strap connects)
My 2001 59 Reissue Les Paul 1 and 15/16

J4337, ´88 USA Soloist Custom = exactly 44mm on the calipers

I´ll measure my Strathead if I remember when I get home

Damn that metric system

44mm = 1.732"

It´s pretty exactly 1 3/4 inch, only 1.8 hundredths less

Welcome to 4th Grade Math, today we´ll start with converting Fractions to decimals.... if .5 is half, who can tell me how much .25 and.75 are if 1.0 is a full unit?

Although I am at a 4th grade math level, our country being one of the only ones to never adopt the metric system I just never use or remember it, so to me its a PIA.

thanks guys.


btw. inch, feet, miles,bounds, gallons or whatever american stuff isn't too hard to understand but one thing that blows is that damn Fahrenheit system. Loose that crap

[quakana]

Thanks Racer....now I feel much better

Awesome thread. I've also been contemplating this for quite a while, but never got around to ask. Thanks a lot guys!


Since I like guitars that are a bit back-heavy, I've been considering a guitar body that is a little thinner at the horns, and thicker at the end.

I <3 the metric system.
I guess I'm Anti-American for that..

When I'm underneath a hood, or under a car.. and I need a size or two up or down.. why the hell would I need to do fractions to figure out whats bigger or smaller? Why go from 3/4 t 5/8 when I can go from 13 to 15 and so forth.

Metric makes more sense.
So does Celcius.
Both are more logical and practical.

What really messes me up is when a old american car has both.

Do they do that to mess up the guy who works on his own rig?
