Hi guys, i just got a beautiful '77 Fender Musicmaster but i was wondering whether the neck is 24" like on the mustang or 22.5" ? I tried to measure the thing but since I'm European i'm having a pretty hard time trying to convert it all :-) thanks in advance.

Two options; 24 and 22.5 inches . You have to mesure the scale

and to convert use ;

My understanding is that Fender only used the 24" scale for Musicmaster necks in the late 70's. If yours is indeed a 1977 model, it should be a 24" scale just like the Mustangs were by this time.

Why do you want to know the scale? Is the original neck damaged and you need a replacement? What purpose do you have for knowing the scale length? (BTW, it IS 24") ;)
