What I'm really trying to find out is what scale length is preferable for achieving a bell like tone in the trebles. It may well be that tone woods, top thickness and bracing have more to do with creating bell like trebles than scale length. The bell like trebles on virtually every Greenfield guitar I've ever heard tends to support this assertion. That said, I'm still interested in "gathering info" that goes beyond ease of playing with regard to scale length.
