24.75 w Floyd - les paul axcess or Friedman noho

[rokker]

If you were to pick one 24.75 scale h/h with Floyd which would you pick and why. I am
Wanting to stay under $3.5k. Looking at Anderson shortys too. But they are super hard to find with the Floyd. Let me know what you think?
Getting back in the game after a long hiatus and need a good short scale guitar. Thanks

I have both of these and they are obviously very different guitars. To be honest, I don't notice that the NOHO is a short scale, it just seems to me like any other 24 fret super strat type guitar, but I have many guitars that are all different so I don't really get "used" to a certain scale length enough to notice or prefer it over another.

In any event, I really like both guitars, so it comes down to whether you want a LP or Strat style guitar. The Axcess, or at least the one I have has a much larger and chunky neck compared to the Friedman. However, IMO there is something really cool about a Les Paul with a Floyd. But again, beware of the neck if you like thinner profiles. The NOHO reminds me of any great Suhr modern that I've had over the years, really a great guitar that doesn't get much attention.
