tedmanzie Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I think these came out last year, 24" scale, I have a rising GAS for one... might head down to Guitar Guitar tomorrow... http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/electric_guitars_detail.asp?stock=14082912181958&gclid=CjwKEAjwhJmwBRDGsamBu8Pp7FwSJACKD1KHwoPWPnippsfkDPYHMThXhRfaxIV_OPMKlRts-E5RWBoCbZjw_wcB
JapanAxe Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 I tried a short scale Tom Anderton T-type a couple of years ago. To me it lacked the 'snap' of a full scale Tele.
Ancient Mariner Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 There's a small group that love original Fender short scale guitars like the mustang, and I guess this is trying to tap that particular market. Not for me though - scale is a big part of both how a guitar plays and sounds, and I'm not really keen on the shorter scale. If this kind of thing appeals then also try the Brian May red special replicas - the more accurate versions are also short scale IIRC.
ahpook Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Why would you buy a short-scale strat when you could go for a Jaguar....the coolest guitar ever made ?

[/quote] I actually never realised these had 24" scale till you mentioned it! I may well give one a go, although I don't really want a trem. I've been playing a Squire Mini around the house which I think is about 23.5" scale. I really like it, but it's a bit on the small side generally.

I bought myself one for my 40th birthday
