I don't remember off the top of my head, but if you line up the bridges, the tulip's nut will be right around the 3rd fret of a full scale Rick. PM me to remind me to measure my 1000 if someone doesn't respond with the info first.

Bear in mind that a 950 has 21-frets, and a 1000 has only 18....
Having said that, I have seen a 21-fret 1000 from the 60's.......the body wing style made the difference on this one....

I somehow completely forgot that!!! Good point. I'll try to remember to measure my 1000 tonight.
