Does it qualify as a shortscale? I just bought this, and I am very impressed. It's a 24" scale, so I'm not sure.
Pictures and review soon.

Are you sure it isn't 24 3/4"?

My bad, yes. Does that make it a regular scale?

There are two versions of standard scale, Fender (25.5") and Gibson (24.75"). Some guitars fall in between those (I think PRS guitars might be 25") but generally shortscale is considered to be 24" or less (and 30" or less on a bass).
Shabba.

That's a really solid guitar. Classic Korean guitar in my opinion - like a Les Paul DC, but still its own thing. Before the whole foreign market switched to boring strat/tele/LP ripoffs.

I had one of these about 10 years ago, decent guitar.
I liked the finishing and the fact it had a coil split as standard, but the neck could have been better on mine. Would have preferred higher output pickups too but that's just me.
Looked just like this:
