COOLEST NON-FENDER/SQUIER SHORTSCALES - WHAT ARE THEY?

Post by Dave »

Dunno if this has been done before in one thread - what are the the coolest non Fender or Squier shortscales (24" or less is the rule in THIS thread oh my Droogs, anything LESS than gibson scale may be allowed through if I'm feeling sexy). You must post a pic!

Off the top of my head I love:

Ibanez Orm

Image

PANK SX SHortscale Strat (left handed for old style headstock)

Image

What others are there?

Not even your new bass, serfx?

I don't think any of my faves are in production any longer save for Ricky 325s in explicity-Lennon presentation, but:

Gibson Shorty DC Specials and Juniors

Image

And I've long fancied some sexy EB2 action, even though it'd look huge on me.

The necks are fantastic

I thought PRS standard was 25"? might be wrong, just got that number kicking around in the old brain banks. Regardless of this PRS are BANNED from this thread because they are THE MOST BORING GUITARS INVENTED BY A HUMAN BEING EVER ;)
