Seems pretty odd, including all the Gibsons, etc. Les Pauls don't strike me as "short scale".
Plus there are some standard scale lengths past 25.5" - those Selmer Maccaferri guitars, etc. can be 670mm (26.37")

how 'bout that? is that what you were getting at?
and BTW, what was leo fender thinking making a 25.5" guitar? I don't get it. were there any popular guitars of that scale length prior to the broadcater/tele? weren't all gibsons shorter?
