howdy,
I'm looking for help on choosing a scale length. I currently play PRS guitars w/ a scale length of 25" which puts me in the middle of the Warmoth options. I'm inclined to go with a shorter neck for more tone but then I came across this quote from an interview with Paul Reed Smith:
"And the problem with a 24 5/8 inch scale guitar is that when you hit the low E on a .42 gauge string it goes sharp. It goes whawrrrrrrr!"

In either case I'm going for 22 frets. Your thoughts, comments and help are all greatly appreciated. Cheers,
