This scale length also allows for easier bends and vibratos because the strings will have lower tension due to the shorter scale.įinally, another thing affected by scale length is tone. If you got really small hands, you probably will feel more comfortable playing this guitar than a Fender Stratocaster. It's a lot shorter than the typical Stratocaster (25.5'')Īs you can see from the picture above, a shorter scale length also means shorter separation between frets.

Here's the Schecter Solo-II Blackjack's 24.75' scale length compared to other common sizes: Schecter Solo-II Blackjack's scale length (at the top) compared to other popular sizes A longer scale length means longer distance between frets, brighter tone and more string tension-which means lower action, but more difficult bending of the strings. It can tell you a lot about the overall playability and tone of the instrument. Scale length is the distance the strings will span between the bridge and the nut. This was recorded from some online retailers that publish the weight of the instruments they sell.
