    I honestly find short scales so fun to play

      I have rather large hands, and I learned on a standard scale when I was 14, and my hands were smaller. Now I wouldn’t give up my SG (think EB). The difference in playability is worth the sonic differences of the shorter scale.

      The Telecaster BEHS is a bit like the American Bison; there once were many, now there are few.

    • @harrybrooks8514

      If I’m not mistaken, Alembic still offers a Stanley Clarke model. It’s short scale and way outside of my bluddie grasp ($$$$.00)

    I’ve been following your BEHS posts for about three months now-very interesting, informative, and challenging stuff. I especially like your enunciation of BEHS; my friends and I get a kick out of it. I’m just a month into my 67th birthday and retirement.
    Your spots are inspiring me to take my BEHS out of storage, and try to get back in touch with my musical side. Due to personal traumas over the last few decades, I let my music slide. Hey, it’s too late to be a bluddie rock star (😁), but there’s much to be said about self enriching ventures, eh? Keep up the good fight for BEHS entertainment, enjoyment, and literacy.
