Is an SS good for bad wrists?

That's pretty neat, but I imagine without the Jag electronics and Trem assembly it'll sound pretty much like a Strat. Could be worth swapping out the P'ups though.

Had a go of the recent Jagmaster today. It's actually a really nice guitar. If I was looking for a basic HH guitar I'd probably pick it up.

Importantly, the neck was quite comfortable, and not as cramped as I was worried it might be. It felt nicer to play than the full scale I'm used to, really. I was worried Short Scale might be a bit of a compromise, I mainly like Short scale guitars, and would rather not have to stretch as much, rather than liking the short scale, but it does seem more comfortable. I think my fingers probably aren't as fat as I had thought too, I just have big palms for whatever reason.

Bold part makes no sense.
And imho you dont really notice the scale length much going from 25.5 to 24. Maybe a couple of police riffs here and there will seem easier to play but it is not a dramatic change. Only time I ever really noticed scale length change in terms of finger placement was when I went from 25.5 to 22.

Yes, Goddamn, message in a bottle kills my hand. Now I will be able to impress my Andy Summers fan friend from the states by playing it all day long.

What I meant to say was I tend to like the sound and look of guitars that happen to be short scale, mainly since i like the offset designs and I get bored of the typical Strat/Tele/LP nonsense. I don't purposely seek out guitars with a shorter scale - except, again, with the intent of not having to over stretch my bad wrist. However, after having played a couple of short scales, I find it quite comfortable and more fun to play overall.
