Correct me if I'm wrong but at first glance it looks like the bridge saddles are where the string mutes would be on a real Rick. Might be tough to intonate.

Good eye.. Your right. Have them measure the distance from the nut to bridge saddle. I bet its not a 33 1/4 scale either.

I can find many specs on these, they're widely available here in Europe, but they never mention the scale length :|
