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
PANK SX SHortscale Strat (left handed for old style headstock)
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
And I've long fancied some sexy EB2 action, even though it'd look huge on me.

Silvertone jupiter, 24" scale, hollow, and the dearmonds kick so much ass.

I loved mine, but wouldn't describe it as heavy at all???/
The only thing that sucks on them is the bridge.
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

harmony or silvertone bobcat thangs
Also, the Kay Jimmy Reed thing is around 24.5" I think.
