So I've had this notion rattling around in my noggin that I should stick to one scale length (my resonator and main electric guitar are both 24 3/4"), in order to best facilitate consistent, accurate intonation in my slide playing.
Whadda y'all think? True or False?

Hi Jeeb,
I have been through that one myself and think it is not true >it's FALSE!

I have guitars with 24 3/4, 25 1/2, 25, 27, 24 and a few between, and have no problem going from one guitar to another. Problems happen when I forget I`m on the 27" and try my normal chord shapes.

Let your ears do most of the work.

I have different lenghts on my "slide guitars" and don´t see any problem with intonation.A direct swap between them may take a sec to get right.

Yay for 'false'! Yeah, that particular notion would've been mighty inCORNvenient if true.
Especially since from what I've seen so far I would have a heck of a time finding a 24 3/4" tricone resonator, and I do now lusteth after a tricone.

I would have to put myself in the false camp on this one.

Correct intonation come from ears  .Listen carefully when you play bottleneck do not worry about scale length. |
