When you pull from the changer end, you are pulling the 24' or 25' scale, PLUS the amount of string behind the nut. Karlis, are you saying that the part of the string behind the nut has no tension? There is about 3-4 inches there.(even more on the 5th string) The strings are anchored at the keys. The discussion of keyed versus keyless has little bearing on the scale length relative to tension. If you do the same on a 25 inch scale, the tension is approximately 29.9 pounds. 011 gauge string is stretched between a bridge and nut 24 inches apart so that it reaches a G# pitch, the string has a tension of approximately 27.6 pounds regardless of the length of string beyond the nut.

And that's playing 3 and 4 gigs a week, plus I use the cheapest strings money can buy.

I don't play a keyless, change strings very infrequently, and haven't broken a third in over a year.

So, one can get used to changing the the 3rd string frequently or go keyless. A keyed guitar will break more strings than a keyless. The extra 3-4 inches in front of the nut on a keyed guitar MUST to be included in the string length. You can have a 25 inch scale, with less tension and string breakage than with a keyed 24' scale. I now know why.Р”Р‡rom: ***In the shadows of Tulsa at Bixby, USA*** I always felt that the strings on my current guitar, which is also 24.25' scale length, felt tight. a one inch increase yields almost a two pound increase in tension. I used a spreadsheet developed by Terry Downs that I downloaded several years ago.Р”Р„ quarter inch increase in string length yields a half pound increase in tension. Using common string gauges I found the following values for 24', 24.25' and 25'. While doing some calculations on string gauges for the pedal steel that I am building, I discovered that a small difference in scale length has a significant difference in tension.
