That is because of the problem mentioned with the strike line (mod C
and mod O for what I know).

I have the scale somewhere with the original line, it seems to have
been corrected partially on the frame (different capo placement on the
C I had) but still the end of the 3d section is glued with an inward
angle so the strike is 5 mm nearer the capo (still glued at 130 ;>)
