ShortScale.org

Hi, I'm new here... glad I found this forum as I'm always looking for short scale guitars (my left hand really loves them and the scale lenght is the first thing I want to know about a guitar, however beautiful or good sounding it may be) !

I'm the happy owner of a Squier Jagmaster (Standard Series) which I find a really versatile guitar... it stays in tune , it feels very confortable, and I can get a tone which is close enough to a Strat sound, aswell as a nice and warm, almost Jazz-like, tone from the neck pick up. I also own a luthier-made archtop and I requested it with an Ibanez GB 10 sized body and a (Gibson Byrdland!) scale length of 23 1/2 inches, which is the scale length I'm most confortable with.

There's a guitar I'm curious about... it's the Hofner Club 50 (check it out at the following link:

http://www.hofner.com/gab/en/phpshop/43 ... ory_id,24/

Does any of you own one, or know the scale length of this instrument (scale length of this model is not specified on website and, elsewhere, it was reported once to be 24"; then 24.4" and even 24 3/4 ...does anybody know for sure?). By the way this model is not to be confused with the Club model, which has the same body (with different pickups and finish) and a scale length of 25").

Many thanks and cheers.

i have no idea how long it is but i love it. this thing was made for me.

Oh yes... sweet little axe

working on finding info...heres a 63

i found a whole fucking chart with all the specs of every vintage model.....WITH NO SCALE LENGTH WTF?

25.5" i think. This site (about the vintage club50) say it was 635mm... which i think is 25.5"?

635mm is exactly 25" (just checked). Thanks for the info (why don't they say it on the website, when for almost every other Hofner model they say what the scale length is...?).

Ok, makes sense... her, more recent, "sister" model (simply called Club) has a 25" scale length... not my cup of tea (nice guitar, though!). Here it is:

Cheers.

25". cool. never heard of a guitar with a 25" scale length.

I think most Paul Reed Smith (PRS) guitars are 25"

Ah cool. Never really been interested in PRS's so I never checked that out.

What do they sound like?
