Anyone play short scale guitars ?

Been looking at some of the Jackson esp short scale stuff . 20-21 scale . Looks like it could be fun . Any opinions ?

I think my old Charvette was short scale, felt slightly shorter than Gibson LP scale. Was fun to play

No, why would you ?

No, why would you ?

my reasoning was two . 1saw a few demo videos of a daemoness short scale v that looked awesome ! 2. . I think it would be a easier platform to practice scales and leads . Just based on the size .

No because I am really tall and small guitars make me look like a goofball

I bought one to smash at a show years ago and couldn't bring myself to do it so it's been hanging on the wall for 20+ years. I'll sell it for $50. White Ibanez GIO, it comes with the soft case which is torn, but works. I'll grab it today, try it out, post pictures and list it in the classified for anyone who wants it.

Has anyone else seen the videos of that green 21 scale darmoness v ? Joss Allen has posted some videos playing it . It looks insanely fun to play , and to me it doesn’t look that silly ?

My friends son does have one of those short scale Jacksons, the $129 neon green ones. Actually plays great, but the frets are so close together on the bottom it seems like

I have three. This is my main one. It is fun to play. Not really any easier though. And then going back to a 25.5” feels weird. But I totally dig it. I think it’s 20” scale.

I don't have problems going between scales, so if you do then mmv. I will play a 26.5" 7 and then grab my son's 22.5" mini jackson and not even notice the change. But the mini has this undeniable cool feel and tone. You would think that the strings would be too floppy, but it just works. sounds great. I never thought you could enjoy a 140$ guitar so mcuh.
