For a 25.5 scale length string tension is:

For 24.594 it's:

That's not nothing. Especially for weeny muscle fingers.
I didn't mean to minimize how these different scale lengths feel. They're more significant than I realized. Sorry about that guys!
Yeah, if you didn't take the time, you should read that article I posted above. It doesn't focus so much on string tensions, but rather the difference in the tones produced. It is actually quite interesting, if interested in a 594.I didn't mean to minimize how these different scale lengths feel. They're more significant than I realized. Sorry about that guys!
At the very least it opens a portal between my bank account and Paul Reed Smith's pocket.and opens a portal to the 5th Dimension
Also, the bridge is a fair bit closer to the foot of the guitar. So, the scale length is a little shorter and it starts another inch or so closer to the end of the body....so the neck sticks out even less. They feel smaller than Les Pauls.That scale length is why it feels like a really tiny guitar to bigger guys like me.
Apparently the 24.594 scale length is the true scale length of the Harmonic Convergence and opens
a portal to the 5th Dimension and our Ascension as guitar players.
Maybe.

It's the opposite of the problem I have with SGs. They feel "longer" than strats to me...because they make you reach farther to fret near the nut.
Seriously....put them next to each other and look. An SG is longer than a strat by a couple inches. Similarly, a 594 is a couple inches shorter than a Les Paul.
But, yeah....I love my 594. It sits next to my Les Paul. And they've pretty much pushed all of my other guitars either into someone else's hands or at least to the chopping block. And, no, they don't sound the same. Which one is more vintage-y? Honestly....the LP. But the only vintage LP I've played was a '52, so....maybe there's something seriously different about the bursts (you know, other than humbuckers and them fixing the neck angle).
A uni-directional port....At the very least it opens a portal between my bank account and Paul Reed Smith's pocket.
Try a Firebird or Explorer....I have an SG, too, and it feels bigger than my PRS Standard 22. Biggest of all for me are the Jazzmaster style offsets.
A uni-directional port....
Napolean complex?The shortest scale length guitars are longer than the longer scale length guitars.

Scale length is measured from the nut to the bridge. The ES-335, SG, and Les Paul are actually the exact same scale length: 24 3/4”.Was just looking at a guitar stand next to me and it really highlights the different lengths. 335 is longest,
then the SG, a Charvel, Les Paul, Godin Strat, PRS 245, and PRS Standard 22 is the shortest.
