+1, although I've never played an elitist.
I love Epiphones that aren't Gibsons, like the Emperor.

Does my Sheraton count as a shortscale? Scale length is 24.75".

I think the standard shortscale definition is less than Gibson scale, which is 24.75", so no, I'm afraid.
24", 22.7", 22.5" - these are shortscales.

Once I finally find the right Jag to buy I am going to have guitars at 24, 24.75 and 25.5 (the Catalina) - wonder how that will go. The change from 25.5 to 24.75 was pretty seamless, I like the shorter neck.
