Is the 'Blake' a short-bodied 12 fret 000? |

Larrivee also did a "short bodied" 12-fret OM with full 25.4 scale, it's the Pete Anderson signature model. I have one and love it. I love the sort of stout look of it, and it's very comfortable to hold and play. |

[QUOTE=ToddStock] Standard 14 fret OOO/OM body with a 12 fret neck...short scale. Shifts the bridge closer to the tail block.[/QUOTE] When making a modification like that, do you shift all of the bracing as well? What about the sound hole? |

[QUOTE=letseatpaste] Larrivee also did a "short bodied" 12-fret OM with full 25.4 scale, it's the Pete Anderson signature model.[/QUOTE] Those are cool guitars. However, if it's a 12-fret neck, its a long scale 000. This confuses so many people, that I think we're duty-bound to keep the 000/OM designations as Martin intended, 'cause they invented it. |

Martin always made the 12-fret OOO with the 25.4" scale, BTW. No need to call it a "long-scale" 12-fret OOO in their nomenclature. |

That Norman Blake model also has a 19 fret fingerboard which suggests that the soundhole has been shifted north. The soundhole is 1/8" smaller too Bob |

[QUOTE=ToddStock] ...a cutaway OOO with 12 fret board would make a playable compact 12 fretter.[/QUOTE] And probably a darn good-sounding one as well. Go for it, Todd!!! Howard, thanks for the Martin info. I wasn't aware that all the 12-fret 000s were long scale. So many details, so little time....
