Long Scale Fingers...

Seriously though. This is a draw back if you are playing in slacked tunings. I have a GC wihich is short scale and a K12 that isn't. I find that when I slack the GC the strings viabrate too much and I get a bunch of buzz. I have remedied that by going to medium strings to get more tension, of course I won't tune to standard with the meds, but it works for me. IN standard tuning the short scale makes it easier to play...
