Sam, as a point of reference, a Les Paul has a 24.75 inch scale length, while a Strat has a 25.5 inch scale length. So for some your guitar may be long scale, others might say it is a standard scale. It all depends upon your preference. I used to own a Alembic baritone, and I can attest that it felt and sounded markedly different than a standard scale guitar. This was in part due to heavier strings though . . .
