Dear All,
This thought struck me whilst reading another post. This question has probably been posed and answered before, on this and other forums, But I am always interested to read the posts on this forum, as I usually find them helpful.
I remember reading many years ago that the Fender Jaguar was described in some quarters as "short scale". (or am I confusing the Jaguar and the Jazzmaster?) I have never (knowingly) played a short scale guitar, so I am wondering what are the pros and cons? (without being too technical or going into great detail, if that is possible).
All I can come up with is that, depending on the size and shape of the hand and fingers that press the strings, a short scale would mean less of a stretch and make it slightly easier for a person with small hands? But is this a compromise that can have a negative effect? (like many things in life - a sort of Ying and Yang?).
Kindest regards,
Christopher
