tedmanzie Posted September 26, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted September 26, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted September 30, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Why would you buy a short-scale strat when you could go for a Jaguar....the coolest guitar ever made ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
