How can I tell what size Skyline I have?

[guitarman19853]

I am trying to find out what size my skyline is so that I can order a sac for it.

 

I dont know if it will help, but heres some pics

It's that chart that is the whole reason why I'm asking. There are 2 sizes listed there and I have no clue which mine is.

 

they list:

 

Executive 20 Straight

 

Full Size 16 1/2 - 2 1/4 Taper

 

Smaller Size 16 - 2 5/8 Taper

 

I'm pretty sure mine isn't an Executive, but they have 2 different size tapers between the Full and Smaller size.

Hi

 

Cap your pen and measure it's length. There were three distinct sizes and here are their lengths:

 

Demi or Small = 4¾"

Standard = 5¼"

Executive = 5½"

 

Exact lengths will vary a little, but should be close to these figures.

 

The Executive is hard to find. The pen sac site should lead you to the correct size.

 

I recently restored several of both Standard and Demi sizes. In doing so, I measured many sacs that were not petrified and found a consistent sac length for each as follows:

Demi = 2.0"

Standard = 2.325"

I cut my sacs to these lengths and they fit very nicely, using up maximum available room and allowing breather tube room. Since they were so consistent, I feel this was close to the original lengths. Also, the breather tubes that came out of both sizes were all 2.4" long. Any shorter ones, I surmise, were probably snipped.

 

Use this information at your own discretion as this is my experience. Good luck!
