Here's is my new supa strat!!!!

I have noooo idea why they don't build strats with Gibson scale necks. It sounds sooooo much warmer & sweeter but still has that strat bite. I can't iamgine ever playing another strat scale neck again.

That looks awesome. Congratulations!

Tom Anderson now makes his strat style guitars with the Gibson scale now. Looks pretty cool and a neat idea.

 
Yeah, there have been a few 24.75" superstrats. Valley Arts made a ton of them, and then there are certain models like the Jackson Fusions, the Charvel 750XL and the Peavey Vandenberg. But shorter-scale strats never hit it big. I like them, though.
 
Yeah! Nice guitar man...

This is one of the reasons that I love my Caparison Horus so much. Such a dream to play.

Looks nice. And yes, Anderson makes guitars in Gibson scale, they call it short scale.
 
Looks stunning.
Was the heel that way from stock or did you mod it ?

I'd recommend a brass block for that VS100 from Killerguitarcomponents
I have one in mine and its fantastic, really livened and sweetened the tone.

Yup!!! Hamer also made a 24.75 scale version of the set neck Chaparrall...
 
Fender Japan makes 24.75" scale Strats. The Peavey Patriot is 24.75" also.
 
The neck joint on your guitar looks really comfortable! I dig it!
