I don't see mention of the scale in the text. (In fact, the text appears to have been copied and pasted from our FAQ section.) I think it is the case that most Distillates were 32", medium scale, as were most Spoilers. The best way to determine scale is to measure from the nut to the 12th fret and multiply that number by 2. I also think that while Alembic refers to 32" as medium scale, other manufacturers may refer to 32" as short scale. My thought processes are a bit sluggish; I need to go to bed.
