Actually what you are talking about is not the scale, as that could be the same as that is not determined by where it is attached to the body, but by the length from the bridge to the nut. For example, certain brands will have a longer scale on all their models. My F4 is attached at the 12th fret, but the bridge locates closer to the tailpiece and so the scale is the same as my F5s. Where is attaches to the neck just effects the ease of access to the upper registers. One thing I like playing the F4 is that my hand feels more comfortable with the bridge located closer to the tailpiece. I hope this helps. Tony
