The scale-length was probably twenty-three inches. Although I haven't been able to check one of these guitars myself, Alan Wootton used the short twenty-three inch scale on a later Supersound model.

Ike Isaacs (1919-1996) was a well-known jazz and session player in the UK in the 1950s and ’60s. Between 1975 and 1977, he toured with the Stephane Grappelli Quartet, and in 1987 moved to Sydney, Australia, where he taught at the Australian Institute of Guitar.

So far as I have been able to establish, though he lent his name to the Supersound instrument, Ike Isaacs never actually used the guitar in his work, preferring the more traditional jazz-style hollow-bodied instruments.

The proof copy at the foot of this page is for an advert which appeared in Melody Maker in December 1958 indicating the promise of a “Standard scale and Bass Guitar available shortly”.
