## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the scake length of this instrument?**
A: Merlin M4 nut to bridge on mine is 21 inches.  7 frets full octave with no blues fret. I put in a temporary blues fret at 5-1/2 with a cutdown paper clip and some bandage tape. Got to look out for string height at that position though so you don't mess up the whole note that lives at that spot.

**Q: How do you know if your Merlin is DAD or G tuning? i bought mine just about the time when Seagull changed it.**
A: The Merlin will have heavier (wound) strings - at least three. This is because the G tuning is lower. If your strings are more like those on a guitar, and your bass string is the only wound string, you have a dadd-type Merlin. Also, I believe that only the mahogany ones are G; I haven't seen on that was spruce.

**Q: What is the difference between the SG and the M4 models?**
A: Sg is spruce and M4 is mahogany.

**Q: What is the neck width across where the nut is ?**
A: I just got it out and measured it.  It's 1 1/4".  James.
