24.75 superstrats?

real ESP mavericks were alder bodied, the regular one in japan is ash now.

ESP Original Series -MV-

That's pretty close to what I want. They didn't make an LTD with a trem did they?

no, the Kramer Nightswan is a Maverick with a different pickup layout.

Yeah Charvel 750xl's are a fine example of the short scale. I loved how the one I owned played. Now I try to get the shortscale whenever possible.

Ibanez sf somethin somethin... its the only S series with a TOM bridge it has a 24.75 I believe.

You're spot on. I have an Ibanez SF470 which I recently naturalised. I was informed by HaGGuS (the previous owner) that it has a 24.75" Viper neck. TOM bridge, Mahogany body.

In addition to the ESP LTD MV-200, there was also the neckthru MV-300. I had a real ESP MV-USA for awhile, which was a nice guitar, though in the end I didn't have much use for it.

The only mahogany-bodied Jackson Fusion was the HH with the natural finish. The black-finished HH is basswood, just like all of the other Fusions. Maybe some of the USA Fusions had poplar bodies, but they mostly have solid graphic finishes, so it's difficult to tell.

Probably the easiest-to-find 24.75" superstrats are the pre-1993 Carvins. They come up on eBay all the time. If it's a neckthru Carvin with a rounded neck heel and a large logo on the headstock, it's a 1988-92 guitar with the 24.75" scale.

The dual humbucker Japanese ones were. There are also some Ash ones but I can't seem to find any info on those and the JCF isn't extremely helpful.

They were pretty rare, though, 'cause I think it was a limited-finish option. Most were basswood.

The Charvel 750XL, played by Shawn Lane in the 90s, was made from 1988 to 1989 and is 24.75 inch scale.
If Shawn Lane made it his weapon of choice for a while, it must have had damn good playability.

The Jackson Soloist Pro Archtop is 24.75, and mahogany (but much thinner), as well. They're pricey, but nice guitars.
