Hi!

Can someone take some measurements for me on a Gibson SG guitar? Here's
what I need:

1) Width upper bout
2) Width at widest point
3) Width at waist
4) Total length of body

Thanks!

4) Total length of body
16 3/8" Upper horn,
15 3/4" Lower horn
14 13/16" body c/l to neck
24 5/8" scale
39 1/16" loa
2 1/4" Cut-out diameter
Let me know if there is anything else you need.

There is a large compensation for string intonation. More than on an
acoustic.

If you browse ebay auctions you can usually find a number of reallly
useful photos as some sellers post photos of all angles in their

Correct. I got the photo I'm using from the Gibson website actually.
Used paintShop Pro to find the edges, but I need the dimensions to scale
it correctly. I've been using this technique for several years.
