short scale shredders?

[Jason01]

Are there any gibby scale shredders out there with the wide thin necks? 22 frets hardtails and humbuckers would be ideal.

Jackson Fusion models are Gibson scale

[murkat]

not much out there Jason.

most shorty scale, Jackson Fusion, early chaps, etc. are floyd'd.

Jackson did a run, pre fender, with a SLS, short scale, with a wilky type sustain block string thru bridge, ( I have one )

with humbuckers. Very rare, and do not come up for sale often.

the Jackson USA fusions are about the most shreddy shorty's you can get, Like what I have listed. All with floyds thou.

Weren't the early Chapparals short-scale?

[murkat]

Yes indeedy.

[jisham]

Anderson Cobras are short scale.

22 fret, hardtail, not wide / thin neck?

How about a gibson SG?

Hamer studios play like butter too.

Also, my chaparral is 24.75" with a neck on the small side of medium, but not wide and flat. More rounded.

Weren't the Peavey Vandenbergs short-scale?

ETA: no hard-tail that I'm aware of, however. I'm with AnalogSystem: I'd go with an SG - incredible upper fret access, hard tail, lots of different neck shape choices over the years.

Shishkov?

Seems like you should be looking at an early-90's Studio Custom (or whatever the hell they were call them back then) so me. I had one from 91 (IIRC) and the neck was shredderific.

I miss my Kramer Nightswan. Bought one of the newer Buddy Blaze K2 imports with a 24 5/8" scale...not the same.

Earlier set neck Carvin's from the 80s were 24.75 scale. Now they are 25 scale with the neck throughs.

A early 80s Gibson Victory MVX....if you can find one.

I had an SG and absolutely hated the neck on it. It was like a tree trunk. I wanted to like that guitar so bad and just couldnt bond with it.
