I have a 1963 Harmony H-162 with busted off neck With the fingerboard removed and missing, and no bridge. I want to rebuild this guitar for the practice. I have read this is the same scale as a martin if so which scale lenghth. martin has used two. If I am wrong about that does anyone know the true scale of this guitar? |

I don;lt remember the true scale, but it doesn't match either martin scale. You would be fine to use either scale if you re-brace the top for it. I've done this with several of these guitars, and done well, it'll be a great guitar. I'd use 24.9 scale. |
