How small are the Jackson Minion series?

[rsm]

I'm on an inexpensive guitar kick...

Specs state the bodies are 2/3 scale of the full size; 22.5 scale length. How small are these "in real life"? Anyone try/have one? Are they about the same size as a Steinberger L series ("boat oar")?

Using the pickups as a size reference, these look very small, but I think the RR V body style may help it seem bigger. Guessing they'll have some neck dive...

I bought the dinky version for my son - not quite sure how to quantify 'smallness' but it's 27 1/2" from nut to bottom of the body, whereas a 'grownup' dinky is 30 3/4"

My kid has one. It's literally 2/3 the size of my soloists. It's nothing more than firewood though. I had to return the first one I bought for him because both humbuckers and the bridge were installed on an angle. The frets were crooked too. It's a starter guitar for a kid that can't hold a full size, not much more than that.

Thanks for the info!
