Perhaps. Also a slight risk if your technique isn't up to par. The action tends to be a tad higher and fret spacing is wider due to the longer scale length. I feel like I have to be a lot more mindful of my fretting technique when I play mine since I have very small hands. |

Thank you for the advice. Even though I love the sound, I passed on this deal. At this point in the journey, I think it is best to stick to basics. I can easily tell the difference between my Ibanez with a 24.9" scale length and my Yamaha with a 25.6" scale length. Throwing something with an almost 28" scale length into the mix would just complicate matters. Maybe in a year or two...
I hope to see some nice new guitar day posts!
