question on scale length and fret

[cobain1980]

Hi, May I know whether it is possible to have a 24 fret neck and 24.75" scale length? If so, do you know of any brand of guitar with such configuration? I have checked that most guitars with 24 frets have scale length of 25.5".

Another question I will like to ask is what is the difference in the neck for a guitar with 25.5" and 24.75" scale length?

Thanks a lot!

24.75 scale, 24 frets.

and what do you mean by difference in the neck? it really is just the length.. nothing more.

Hi TidesofBlood, thanks so much for the link!

What I mean in the 2nd question is whether the width between frets in the neck are wider for a 25.5" scale length guitar than those with 24.75"?

I feel that the width between frets for the 1st to 7th frets are wider when I play a Strat, as compared to playing a les Paul. I wonder if the difference got to do with the different scale length?

they would naturally be slightly wider because of the .75 inch difference...so, that increase pushes the frets wider very slightly...

im not sure though...haha...
