My Emerald X20-12 was ordered recently, but the build has not started yet (scheduled December delivery). But this weekend it occurred to me that I enjoy the shorter scale length on the two guitars that have them. What do folks think of selecting 24-3/4" for a twelve string instead of the standard 25.5"?

All of the twelve's I've had were full scale, including the current Taylor 354-LTD. The advantages of shorter scale and possibly lower tension seem worth considering. I normally tune to standard pitch E-e, BTW. This is a comfort thing, not an "I can't play the longer scale" issue.
