In this way, are short scale acoustic guitars easier?
We find that using a short scale will most often make a guitar’s tone softer and warmer. The shorter scale also makes the guitar feel easier to play due to less string tension (when compared to a long-scale instrument).
Herein, how does scale length affect sound? The greater spacing of harmonics on strings that span a longer scale gives an impression of greater chime and shimmer, and yields a tighter low E. Alternately, strings on a shorter scale instrument yield more closely packed harmonics and increase warmth, thickness, and “fur” in the tone.
Keeping this in view, how low can you tune a 25.5 scale guitar?
Though if you have a 25.5″ scale guitar already you can easily go down to drop A with . 60’s, and lower if you get bigger strings and/or you like your strings sloppy. . 060 in A is going to be pretty floppy on a 25,5″ scale, .
Is a longer scale guitar harder to play?
Because the strings on a shorter-scale are under less tension, they are easier to bend and fret. The wider fret spacing on longer-scale guitars also means that, depending on the size of your hands, they can be a little more difficult to play than those with a shorter scale.
Is a short scale guitar easier to play?
Short-scale guitars are considered more comfortable to play, due to lower string tension. This makes fretting individual notes or bending the strings easier. The closer fret spacing is also an advantage if you have small hands, however, is a disadvantage for those with large hands as the fretboard may feel cramped.
What difference does scale length make?
The most important impact scale length makes is on the tension of the strings. The longer the scale length, the higher the tension needs to be to bring the string up to pitch. A short scale length requires very little tension to bring the strings up to pitch when compared to a longer scale guitar.
What guitars have a 24 inch scale?
Fender does have short-scale models – namely the Jaguar, Mustang, and Duo-Sonic (which we review below) – which are all 24″. The interesting thing is the Gibson full-length guitars are shorter by default. Les Paul scale length is usually smaller (around 24 ¾”) and their SG and Melody Maker models are also 24 ¾”.
What is the difference between 24.75 and 25.5 scale guitar?
The 25.5 imo is much more comfortable. You have much more room in the 12-22(24) frets. I am Orchestra geek! 24.75 is shorter, there is less tension on the strings, so bends are easier, but there is a but of a cramp on upper fret access….
What is the difference between short scale and full scale guitar?
Short-scale guitars, as the name suggests, have a smaller scale length. Guitars with a ‘long scale” or full scale-length guitars have a 25.5-inch scale length, give or take an inch. Short scale guitars, on the other hand, range from 22 to 24.75-inches depending on the make/model of the guitar.

The Fender Modern Player Short Scale Stratocaster and Telecaster each offer a 610mm (24-inch) scale length (the same as the Mustang), with 20 frets and a slightly downsized body, while the addition of Guild ‘Anti-Hum’ humbuckers in the Strat bridge and Tele neck position offers increased tonal versatility, too.
