I've seen only one(picture) Almost all Spoilers are 32 inch...

A long scale Spoiler would probably neck-dive - the standard medium scale balances at 3 o'clock.

and is this the same for persuader too?

Most Persuaders have the Spoiler body shape, so yes - the same applies there. The difference is that Persuaders usually had PJ pickups, instead of soapbars, 2 volumes instead of volume + pu-switch, and the filter without the Q switch but with the 8dB boost always on.

Here's a pic of the '91 longscale Spoiler I mentioned:

Must say that I really like the 32 inch scale. My '87 Spoiler is strung ADGC (1 step below low B)
