What's the deal with that bridge on the Jag? I like.

I like really short scales, but I like at least medium wide necks.

It comes down to that I have short fingers, but not narrow fingers.

I wonder how that affects the tone +/-. I'm thinking the best solutin might be to purchase a Duo body and/or neck off eBay for cheap... And just buy parts and pier one together... Although with the wiring and whatnots... I bet that adds up FAST.

Moving the bridge pickup away from the bridge will ...

I consider "shortscale" to apply to any guitar that has a scale length between 20.5" and 24.75" with that and up to 25.5" being standard.

Seems pretty odd, including all the Gibsons, etc. Les Pauls don't strike me as "short scale".

Plus there are some standard scale lengths past 25.5" - those ...

imo that strat looks awesome in green with tort

Oh well, it just looked wrong to me. So I got a MOTO pickguard loaded with Duncan Anti-Cuties on it in there. Sounds brilliant now.

Around here, "Tort" has normally been referred to as "pizza vomit" and on that guitar, it really did look like it.

I see what you're saying there.
For the record I didn't mean any disrespect in questioning your anti-alt stance.
It's just that I don't really understand the meaning of 'alt' in the context of music genres when no reference to what 'alt' opposes is mentioned.
A quick wikipedia search on the bands ...

That sounds familiar, I think in the context of guitar builders, but I can't place it. Probably because I am a noob.

Well, that's a good guitar story.
I personally think it doesn't look good but I'm not the one playing it, so who gives a shit, right?

I think playing this thing helps one appreciate it.

alt-denialist, eh?
That sounds awfully restrictive to me.
Surely you don't mean to say that you make a point ...

My lefty mustang, I bet you havent seen this color scheme! It might be re-finished.

At least it's not Green and Tort

Good God, man... Why?

It's an interesting story. I was thinking about getting a custom guitar built - pretty much equivalent of an Anderson Cobra with a short scale, and we did this to see what it might end up sounding like. At the time (about 1996), we used a 1993 MIM Duo Sonic as the starting ...

Well allrighty then here's mine:
