Try out a Jaguar or Mustang. Closest thing to a short scale Strat.

Fender made a Strat-O-Sonic a few years ago, which was a Strat with a 24.75" scale, P90s or humbuckers, stop-tails, and finishes that were like Gibson's see-through cherry or TV yellow with mini pickguards. They didn't take off too well, but I thought they were nice.

I don't want a different strat to any other thing than the scale. The rest (all the bold above) are not stratocasters.


24 3/4" scale strat-styles with traditional woods like alder, ash, maple necks, 3 singles, etc. can be found - just not made by Fender. Off the top of my head the most well-known builder would be Tom Anderson - he calls them the "Short S" and the tele-style counterpart would be the "Short T". Actually the T-style came first so the joke was it was pronounced "Shorty"; doesn't work so well with the S-style. There are a couple of other smaller builders who do short-scale strat-styles as well.

Well, i know about Tom Anderson's short scales but still they're not fenders.
I also check some other "Custom" builders who make short scale strat-like guitars but their prices are pretty, that's why i wrote (in my first post) that maybe Fender could make'em as an USA, Mexico or even Squier (why not?), so the prices can be more acceptable.


P.S: Does anyone from Fender reads this forum or it's just users?
