Short(er than 25,5') scale floyded axe.

[SnoozyWyrm]

It's that day of the decade again..

My trusty Yamaha rg1212a needs a refret badly, and I am checking my options, on what exists right now that can cover the same bases specwise: 24 3/4'-25' scale, a soft C-shape preferably and a 2-point trem (if not a floyd)

I've checked the used market to no avail. Budget is 1000-1500€ (lower is always better). Checking new guitars the only model that seems to satisfy is the 2017 PRS Se 24 floyd. Is there anything else I am missing?

Thank you!

Lots of BC Rich stuff is 24 5/8, with a Floyd......but it's all a definite "try before you buy" crapshoot as well.

A nice WMI made Korean Mockingbird ST neckthru from a few years back is tough to beat.......

Carvins that are neck thru are typically 25" (-pre1993 is 24 3/4"), Epiphone has had some floyd equipped short scales in the past. BC Rich also..

Esp Gary Holt Models, I absolutely love mine!

Carvin isn't an option on this side of the pond. I am checking some Fusions on e-bay right now. Anyone owning a PRS 24 SE Floyd to chime in?

Ec-1000 Floyd

 

[The 1]

The PRS SE's are great. Would be a solid choice.

 

[Shoeless_jose]

My vote goes to EC-1000

 

[Science_Penguin]

The EC on its own has a real comfortable neck, and the short scale helps greatly as well.

I haven't tried the version with the Floyd, but, based on that, I'd also cast my vote for the EC-1000

Kirk Hammet 203/603 too

 

[Spicypickles]

Godin Redline HB Floyd.

GETCHA PULL!

 

[SnoozyWyrm]

Thank you guys for your answers! I think I might score a fusion from a friend soon-ish.

There is a reason I am so persistent on the short scale; I have had a ganglion cyst excised 2 times and subsequently reappear in my wrist joint. I can play, but big stretches are a big no, and thus every little thing (such as half an inch off) helps.

GETCHA PULL!

Good lord that thing is fugly. Have you seen the one with the “handle” it’s somehow even worse.

CU24 Floyd, Dusty from BTBAM has been playing one for years.

 

[Crash Dandicoot]

An ESP Maverick sounds like it would suit your needs.

LTD is making a EX with floyd, most Dean ML have a 24.75".

Ohhhh LTD why must you only make black with a rosewood board? White with ebony board and chrome hardware. Im all over it. Basically like the Daniel Jacobs sig but without the blood and bats
