Default What Exactly Is A "Short Scale?"
I've got the hots for a Seagull Mini Jumbo. Seagull's website shows this particular model sporting a 24.84" scale. Is this a "short scale?" I have heard somewhere along the line that short scale guitars are easier to fret (less string tension) and the space between the frets is closer than a "regular scale" guitar. Any of this true? Any "cons" to the short scale?
