Just received my new Crusader from a fellow HO member and have learned it has a "longer scale neck". Not quite sure I know what this means and why a banjo would be made this way. Anyone answer this question for me?

And yes, I will admit it: if Alan Munde plays one then I need one too. I sound just like him. Really, I do.

Humbly yours, Jimmypick
