Well, Silvie can stand behind you and do it. Oh actually, she has the devils handedness hasn't she - ok, she can stand in front! 12 minutes ago, Happy Jack said: I'm glad you mentioned that they're shortscale necks. It never even occurred to me to ask, and I just assumed that these were longscale for some reason. Didn't occur to me until I put it on the sofa to take a picture and there is my Ibanez 1505 on the side of the sofa, and I thought 'oh its short'. Didn't actually occur to me playing it. I will measure it in a bit 1 Quote
Paul S Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Long of horn, short of scale. I've had a couple and love them. As a single neck they are eye-catching enough but a double neck will certain command attention. They have a certain sound that is so cool IMO. They are made from a material called Masonite which is basically hardboard. That and the hollow body made them so light but not especially robust. I currently have a Dano '56 single cut - another shorty that sounds and plays exactly the same as the Longhorn but with a different body shape. Quote

Maude Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Love it!! I really love my Longhorn and that is, well, twice as good isn't it. 👍 Quote
alyctes Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 Sounds like a result, though TBH I'm not sure who actually wound up with it... Quote
