Is it lazy playing Les Pauls with their 24.75” scale vs playing 25.5” Strats and Teles? Is playing lighter gauge strings lazy? No, not in the slightest.

Only problem I see is if you crave the snap a long scale provides. If you have a J 45 and want a more forceful sound of a D 18, it's a problem. If you're playing a D 18 and crave more warmth, it's a problem. The answer is, of course, both.

No, and using a capo is not cheating, either.

Short scale = soft, flopppy string feel and dull sound. (Or soft, delicate feel and warm sound, depends on your point of view.) Long scale = difficult, tight feel and harsh, shrill sound. (Or taut, snappy feel and crisp, ringing sound, again depending on your point of view.)

Anyone who has stood up and played a 5 kilo Les Paul for more than half an hour is not, repeat not lazy!
