Wow. A very fine historic example.

Nice!! Love the short-scale guitars.

Thanks. I actually prefer long scale guitars, but the lighter weight of the smaller SC body compared to the larger standard point body is worth the trade off.

That's a real nice guitar and looks pretty similar to one I was in discussion about many years back from a UK seller.
I can't actually think of any of my guitars where the scale length had any influence on my buying it. Probably says a lot about my guitar playing but as long as the neck feels right and the sound and to some extent the aesthetic, i'm good. I can't actually state what the scale length is of any of mine without looking it up on line. Basses yes.

Thanks, Jazzyvee, this is a fantastic guitar in mint condition. Light weight and comfortable to play and sounds wonderful!
