This guy plays rockabilly though. For sound and image purposes, he's not gonna want a mustang or SG.


Save your money, but a Gretsch, learn how to deal with it, and rock on. :)

Oh. Well in that case sure. I'd imagine you can buy a little Epi 335 knockoff and put P90's in it. That would be 24.75" scale.

I know I'm pimipng Rondo again, but they've got a Gretsch knockoff with a pseudo-Bigsby. The only reason I mention them is I though he said something about cheap. They're not cheap, but cheap compared to a Gretsch.

Besides, he was going to play it on an Ibanez anyway. :eek:
 
Epiphone Wildcat - Gibson scale, cheap enough, looks rockabilly as hell.

Oh, and I also want one of these:

Daisy Rock Retro H. 300 dollars or less.

Lol. I know. I'd throw eggs at some fool playing rockabilly on an ibanez. :p
 
I have the smallest hands of just about any adult I know. Most women have larger hands than I do.

I've been playing full-scale guitars since I was 14. It's never been a problem. What you lack in reach you can partially offset by flexibility in your fretting hand and appropriate positioning. There are some fretting positions you'll never be able to make. Big deal. :)
 
man....i have my fender tele as well. Not the greatest for all the kind of songs i do. Some songs have to have that hollow body sound, and i aint ready to shell out all that cash for a gretsch. The Ibanez artcore is pretty much a gretsch knock off as well
 
If you can find one...(not sure if you will, I haven't yet). I used to have a Guild S-250. Very good sounding guitar dual Humbuckers, and a neck like an SG. Very thin and smaller frets. I believe the neck is 24 frets and the guitar is a neck thru. Sure wish I hadn't given that baby away.
 
Squier Affinity's are nice and small aswell as student Fender's like Broncos and Mustangs and Duo-Sonics. There is a pretty good guitar called a Super Sonic which is small and good. It's a bit hard to find though, If you like Mars Volta/At The Drive-in Omar used one for a while
 
I had a 3/4 size Guild hollow body electric years ago that would have been good for you. My hands were too big for it, it felt like I was playing a mandolin LOL!
 
i recomend anything in ibanz, but obivously not something with "jumbo" frets

I was going to recommend checking out one of the DeArmond guitars, they are cheaper knockoffs of some Guild guitars-but the website said they are no longer for sale! Wonder if Guild/Fender dropped the ax on them?
