I've heard these on Youtube and they sound great. Excellent work.

If you use a fret calculator--I think I saw one on stew-mac or someplace similar--you can measure & cut a "custom" scale length. It should work fine, and the fret spacing will be very similar to standard, perhaps indistinguishable unless you mention it--unless of course the necks are 6" too long!

Nice mandos, by the way. I like the bird hole!

elvisNoir is right. Just make a custom scale length based on the nut and desired bridge location. You'll have to cut the fret slots yourself, but given all else you've done, that's no problem. They look nice.
