The Mark Morton model is spec'd as having a 24.75" scale, but I read that Mark's personal guitars have a 25" scale. Well, after owning mine for well over a year, I just measured the scale length, and it's 25". :think: I guess Jackson screwed up again on the spec sheet on its website.

Hasn't the spec sheet also had the wrong bridge listed since they were first released? To have the wrong scale, though...
I never checked the first one I had, but I'll measure the one I've got coming in this week. -
Yep, they've always had the wrong bridge listed. They used to also say it had a MOP headstock logo and MOP inlays with the abalone shark eye, but we all know it's MOTO and not real MOP.
I know Mark used to play a SweeTone (bent top or arch top) that had the 25" scale, and he did base the MM1 slightly around a Jazz'R body which also had the 25" scale, so I guess they just kept with that.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Did you measure from the nut to the 12th fret and double it, or what?Comment

Are you asking for you own benefit? Or do you think he did it wrong?Originally posted by TreeFitty View Post
I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.Comment

I did, and I also measured directly from nut to saddle.Originally posted by TreeFitty View PostI feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Hmm. When I measured from the bridge-side of the nut to the center of the 12th fret (wire), I got 12 and 3/8 in., which doubles to 24.75 in. The low E from nut to saddle does show 25 in., but not all the strings sit that far back on the saddle.Comment
