I don't understand why 24" scale isn't more popular actually. In my humble opinion i's incredibly comfortable to play. Playing big bends or even just a little vibrato is a breeze on this scale. I couldn't find a high quality 24incher like I wanted, so Ibuilt my own offset, semi-hollow body with Gibson style tail and bridge. Body and neck are all Maple. Fret board is rosewood. The wood and scale length combined with the semi-hollow body, balanced out a great low, mid, and high tone that turned out incredibly beautiful. I'm going to build a full line based on this prototype. Keep your eyes out for it, and start saving your money, they're going to be incredibly expensive, yet worth every penny. Cheers.
I had a short scale Tele & made a mistake about 8 years ago and sold it. So, I made my own. It’s still not the same though. I stripped a Squier Classic Vibe Tele and stained it purple. Put an arm cut & belly carve on it. I routed under the pickguard. Originally, it was pretty heavy - almost 10lbs. I took 2.5lbs off of it. I then put a Warmoth short scale maple neck on it - has 10”-16” radius. Plays like butter now, but I still miss my old Tele.
I bought the telecaster and it is an incredibly well made guitar. Smooth to play, lightweight, which I appreciate and it is a tone monster. Really terrific guitar.
These are killer. As a Gibson guy a 24" scale is easier to get into than a 25 1/2". That's why I have a Fender Duo Sonic with a Tele bridge PU and a real Ric '66 single coil. Total early Townsend sounds from one guitar. It succeeds too.
From the mid 80's through the 90's (I believe) Fender Japan made Strats and I'm pretty sure Teles on a 7/8 scale but with the Gibson scale length. You can find the Strats labeled as "STM" or "314". I believe Teles are labeled"TM". The quality of these guitars are nice. I have a couple of the Strats (SSS and HSS pickup configuration), sorta rare and not cheap. I'm a Gibson guy as well, but strats and teles have their place. I have a 70's mustang, bet your Duo Sonic is wicked.
I'm not referencing to the newer Aerodyne models. The guitars I'm referring to are built to somewhat match specific years (STM-55, STM-60) are the two models that I have.
Japan 🇯🇵 makes fantastic fenders. And not just the old ones. Because they encourage music especially in their children. They really make fantastic guitars.
@@TheFakeNewsFrog umm no 😄 Made in China and most other modern Fender's have a laminate fretboard. Slab fretboard is definitely a nice upgrade feature.
@@chris_2714 I ordered a Strat copy from China, it came with a very dark slab of Indian Rosewood. I also have another copy from China with a slab rosewood fretboard, although it’s not dark and I don’t think it’s Indian. Both cost £250.
@@chris_2714 imgur /a/xHeJoM5 It’s been sat for a couple of months so the fretboard needs conditioning. You can still see it’s very dark, and indeed a slab of Indian Rosewood. It does have some slight reddish tones where it’s not completely black, like Brazilian, but I’m sure it’s Indian.
Back in 2014, Fender released a few models, including a Telecaster, in their Fender Modern Player Short Scale series. I wish I'd gotten hold of one at the time. They looked great, and for those of us with smaller hands, they would have been ideal. I hope they release these new models worldwide - I'd love to get one.
To all of those interested: I just ordered one of these from a Japanese seller on eBay (January 2024.) Contrary to what was said in the video, there were no import or duty fees, and it arrived in 5 days after it shipped (Japan to US/Florida). Was less than $850 total including shipping/tax/everything. Was SUPER easy and amazing. I got the guitar in less time than ordering within the US for other ones I have bought. Arrived perfectly and in great condition via Fedex. Just unboxed and will be trying it out later this week. Thanks for the vid!
hey bro, could you give me the seller's name? I was scared to make my purchase on eBay but I think I'm really going to do it. Regarding the size of the guitar, did you feel any discomfort aesthetically speaking?
I love the short scale. I have the Jag Stang a few months ago and I love it. Jaguar, Duo Sonic, are my favorites and I have them all. I also love Les Paul. For small hands they are the best. Those Japanese models look great.
Yes , I have seen a short scale Tele before. Around the mid to late 90's ('96?) There was the Fender Custom Shop "Tele Junior" . Mahogany body , set mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, black painted headstock, 2 P90's . It was 24.75" scale length.
Hi! I loved your video about these 24" short-scale Fender Japan Junior Teles! I've been looking for just such a thing for a couple months now and these look just perfect for me. However, I looked on the Fender Japan website and didn't see the Junior Collection there??? Has it been discontinued??? Did I miss something???
2 questions pls..im considering buying this 1) im about 6 ft tall so will this model be hard to play? 2) am i better off spending a bit more and getting the player series? Thanks
I own two Tele’s, one is a straight up American Professional series, the other one I had Warmoth make me an Ash ultra light weight body with both comfort carves like a Strat, lastly I also had the neck heel cut down as well for an easier neck access at the higher frets. It’s by far the most comfortable Tele I’ve ever played and Warmoth’s QC is exceptionally good too 🤙 - it’s a great way to really fully customize a style guitar you want without taking out a second mortgage lol 😂
Hey Trogly! Is the pickguard scaled down in size or the normal size? Normal size pickguard would make it easier to mod with a neck humbucker and middle single coil pickup like it’s routed for.
The duo-sonic and mustang are 24" with the duo-sonic and mustang you can actually bend all the way up to an e on the d at the 22nd fret.. 24" are awesome for anyone that does heavy bends because the strings are so damn slinky!
by far the best review that I could found, congrats! In your experience, this collection it's lighter than a duo-sonic? Because I think they have the same short scale right? Very useful channel.
Nice, I've been looking at these Japan short scale guitars (thinking about the Jazz). How do you feel they compare to the traditional Fender Shortscale instruments, such as the Jaguar?
I understand it. I started playing guitar on a "nylon acoustic" that was actually a "requinto" (a 23“ guitar that its supposed to be tuned A to A), but for 10 y.o. me it was perfect, and i did play it on standard tuning, although it got out of tune constantly. Eventually it broke and its hanging, painted blue as a decoration at my grandma's 😂 I got a short scale Yamaha (CS40) and its funny that with "high tension strings" i can tune it down to C 😂😂 Currently thinking of getting one of those tiny uke-basses... It's so funny when small instruments can give you bass sounds😂
@@0000song0000 That's a great story. Completely agree about the bass, being more pronounced. I think it's because the strings have less tension. Also lighter weight guitars have more bass. Fun fact, my Dean Baby Z is made of bass wood.
Hehehe. I think you mean that they shrunk the body sizes on these down TO about 94%. The way you actually said it these guitars would have only been 6% of their original size!! 😜🤣🤣🤣
@@landonbailey no, he said “they did shrink down the body sizes on each of these about 94%”. It’s only a two letter word but the absence of the word “to” in that sentence makes a massive difference to the meaning.
My favorite is being a vintage modified of thinline telecaster by Squier with a 24.5" neck as gift from my teacher last student it was perfect for both us as players for string relief with bends but string tension can make a big difference
I was recently given the strat version. I haven't had the time to play with it, but it appears to be from the late 90s/early 00s. I've only found limited info on it, but it seems to be a '57 copy that's black with a maple fretboard. I need to change the strings and open it up to confirm what it is. So far, it's pretty cool tho. Unintentionally, 4 of my 6 guitars are short scale. I had no idea about scale size when I started. I have a first run Jagstang, a first run Supersonic, a first run Jagmaster, and the above mentioned Strat. I also have an Ibanez RG350FM and a Fender Hellcat acoustic.
Yesterday I got in a Squire Comtemporary Stratocaster Special in Sky Blue Burst Metallic. So far so good . It was listed as used and I've not found any obvious blemishes or other problems. Well actually they forgot to pack the tremolo bar but a quick call and they found it and dropped it in the mail. The pictures dont really do them justice. And plays well. It also has the painted headstock with the roasted neck and fretboard. As a Telecaster owner I get why someone might want a comfort cut. Even though the edges are slightly rounded over being someone that leans into the guitar a comfort carve on other guitars I own makes sense. I know that guitar your reviewing has a smaller body but it makes the headstock appear to be large . I'll bet that's a good little blues banger. Especially if you down tune . I'd changers the saddles to brass move that neck pickup to the center maybe closer to the bridge pickup and drop a split coil pickup in the neck position. Of course putting in a 5way toggle .
Finally the perfect guitar for Randy Rhodes now if only Gibson would quit releasing the same vintage line every year and start doing modern stuff like fender does
this is far from modern, as a matter of fact Gibson made les Paul's just like this, meaning size difference in the 50s. so technically speaking what you are saying is completely ass backwards and uneducated.
You can sort of tell it's not when he holds up both teles..... I spent $8.50 on a regular mint tele guard on reverb, planning to use the original as a template when the guitar arrives. The guard and TV jones for the neck have beaten the guitar here. I'll post measurements in this comments section when it arrives, and probably put size comparison pictures on TDPRI for reference.
@@gaston7484 thought I'd already replied yesterday.... it's not the same. I put measurement pictures on TDPRI, but yea...... I bought a blank piece of mint green 3ply material. I'll be cutting my own I suppose.
neck / fletboard same width, so if put a normal tele neck in this junior tele body, it doesn't effect your tuning..? just like a normal tele with smaller body..?
Back at the end of the 90s when I was about to enter the market for my second bass guitar, my primary instrument retailer got this Squier mini-bass in acqua. It had a J-bass pickup in the bridge position and a P-bass pickup in the neck position. Between that, the finish and the reduced scale, it would have been a perfect match for me. However, I let the brand stand in my way.
I just bought one....waiting for it. I'm going to try putting the short scale on the standard Tele body, too. The basses look really nice.....all of the guitars. :)
You should see if a standard Tele neck fits. I have a Small 22" T-type from another brand but have read a standard Tele neck fits and despite the change in scale length the frets line up.
I Buy one of these slap prs 49-11 on IT and play slide on em. Man IT was way fun for those. And being a short scale I could still tolerate the stiffness of 11 on em for bend when playing normally
Any chance of getting guard, bridge, and saddle measurements? It looks like the guard is shrank, but I can't tell by how much. The bridge is even more of a mystery, but I like block saddles if there's 6 of them.
Well it looks like I'm going to build my own in left-handed but mine is going to be an Esquire I'm 5'9 and I prefer short scale guitars with a maple neck and fretboard
I love short scale guitars... I've got 3 of the Mitchell guitars that are short scale. For $80 they are fairly good. Are they Gibby Custom Shop? Well, no, but they are quite playable for an Okay guitar player like me.
Yeah, great question! Otherwise putting a full size humbucker in the neck position becomes far more expensive and complicated, as presumably you'd need to order a custom pickguard.
Personally i liked the middle and neck positions but the bridge was a bit too spanky. If i got that id through in a noiseless nashville set and then make a custom pickguard.
It's funny how my Les Paul feels shorter than my Jaguar which is actually even shorter. I think it has to do with the strings extending so far behind the bridge and the nut, making the strings less loose feeling.
I don't understand why 24" scale isn't more popular actually. In my humble opinion i's incredibly comfortable to play. Playing big bends or even just a little vibrato is a breeze on this scale.

Does the 24 inch vs 25.5 change the sound drastically ? i would love to consider a short scale one
You get a softer mellow effect with the short scale. Obviously you also use a heavier string set to stop the strings being too floppy.

Yeah, great question! Otherwise putting a full size humbucker in the neck position becomes far more expensive and complicated, as presumably you'd need to order a custom pickguard.

How do I order one of these

I'd love to have one of these things, but I'd want a black pickguard on the Daphne blue one & it'd be expensive to have one fabricated.
These colours are on point
