uncle fester Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 hi all - does anyone have opinions with respect to playing acoustic slide and the scale length of a guitar, just out of curiosity was wondering if one lent itself more to slide or not. thanks to all for any input. rgds - brfm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It's just what you get used to. I played Les Pauls and SG's and ES339 so many years I prefer the short scale. It's familiar. As such I don't like the longer scale guitars except my old Tele and a bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 thanks much, makes sense... then I want a short scale dread with 1.75 nut (jumbo reissue does the trick but have never been able to try one and I'm wary of the neck shape being comfortable, but if anyone is looking there's a rockin' deal on reverb right now for $2550 (no affiliation, haven't seen one that low before). wondering out loud - was there ever a bird or cw with 1.75 nut?).
