7/8 vs full scale

[dalo]

is there a side by side pic floating around of a 7/8 and a full scale strat, to get a better idea of the diff. in size ?  much thanks

I did some digging to see if I could find any images or drawing and don't have anything.  IIRC, they are about 94% full scale.

So in Warmoth math 7/8 = ~15/16?  :laughing7:

Wyliee.....thanks for your effort, just curious....never seen one.

Well at 94% of each other, they should look like this: (Does this look right to anyone that's seen one? I just scaled down the larger image to 94% of the original size.)

For people who have played 7/8 Strats, is there much difference in how they feel?  Does it feel better in some way?  I've been thinking about getting one, because I'm not a big guy and I thought it might feel more comfortable to play.

Big difference will be in the scale length of the neck. It is Gibson scale IIRC not Strat scale.

Warmoth 7/8ths size can also take the 24" mustang neck. (which is what I have)

Let me see if I can get my friends Strat over here tomorrow and I will take a few pictures side by side with my 7/8ths S

I asked my buddy for his guitar but he thought I didn't want it until tomorrow since that is when I'm getting the new pickup to put in his guitar.

If you, or anyone still wants pictures I can take some tomorrow (Friday).
