The Stratocaster is not a short scale. I have a 2004 MIM Strat that's Aztec Gold and is a fabulous guitar! The middle pickup went dead, so it was replaced with a Fender Custom Shop Texas Special. But as Don said, they are two completely different guitars! For the record, I have a G&L ASAT with P90s on it, and I love the sound and playing of that one, too.
