Many of you will have seen the Hohner Shorty guitar I bought with a plan to convert it to a bass.

Fortunately, the BC family has members with existing experience of this instrument and I have been advised (Thanks @lemmywinks ) that some examples have issues with the fretboard positioning.

Does anybody have the correct measurements for a 21" fretboard or know where I can obtain these?

Thanks peeps.
