I don't think Costello used much other than Jazzmasters. And this should be in the shortscale section.

Depends on the level of 'famous'?
Shakira
Johnny Marr
Kurdtz
Not so famous;
Will Sergeant (Bunnymen)
Belinda & Kevin (MBV)
Thurston Moore
Everybody that was in a Shoegaze band
dude in 'a place to bury strangers'
dude in 'The Horrors'
Others have used them sparingly like Peter Buck and a shitload of Indie guitarists dating back to the mid 1980's. Also, i think Costello used Jazzys, they are'nt ss.

Aren't those custom mustangs they play regular Fender scale..
Not saying MBV never played shortscales but I seem to remember the mustang being a custom 25.5 for some reason. Maybe I'm mistaken though.
