I dunno man, I think I would get claustrophobic. The frets are closing in on me!

The originals were 22.5, the MIM Reissue was 22.7, and the Squier is 24 (which feels way different!...and a fatter neck on that one). But yeah. That length is so nice to play, I'm never going back.

whats the difference? smaller spacing? lower string tension?

It's all part of my reversion to a TWSS-less society or something.

Yes. The length between the nut and bridge is between 2-3" shorter than most guitars. The frets are all closer together, there's lower string tension (10s are okay for standard tuning, but 11s are best if you want to tune down sometimes without going floppy). I have long thin fingers, but it still feels like I can fly on it. Also reduced hand cramping.

Fender achieved the short scale with a sorta-conversion neck, keeping the bridge in (pretty much) same place as a 25.5" scale guitar. (You can put a 25.5" scale Strat neck on the body and intonate fine. Though you can only use the Duo's neck as a short-scale-conversion on 25.5" guitars with longer bridge plates--Duo-style, Tele-style, a Strat hard-tail might work, but a standard Strat trem is just a fraction too short.)

You can use that neck on a tele to make a tiny telly? Awesome.
I didn't know that works.

Well, Teles have a different neck pocket shape, so not easily. But say, a Strat or Jazzmaster with a tele bridge, and I think (but haven't confirmed) that hardtail Strat bridges would work.

So the MIM Duo neck has some fun potential...and the MIM Duo body would accept a 25.5 Strat neck, giving you a Strat-scaled Duo/Mustang look.

NGD!

In b4 Strats suck.
Got bored in guitar center a few weeks back and started fucking with the strats cause its been awhile since I've played one. Picked this one up based on looks, and it turns out it actually sounds pretty dope. Put it on layaway and got it today. had a few minor setup issues (installing strap locks, filing frets) but damn it all if she dont play like a dream.

Feel like this bitch needs a name.

Wow, I really like how that looks. And the colour scheme
Great work!

Thanks dude! I'm surprised at how much I like it. The pickups sound so fucking cool, too.

What kind of pups are they gunslinger? Any demos?
