Hello. Not wishing to be heretical, but I have been flirting with the idea of eventually adding a Les Paul to the family.
I play a Fender Am. Dlx. Stratocaster HSS in 3-tone sunburst with a rosewood neck. I also play a Martin HD-28. Each have an approximate 25.5" scale length. The Les Pauls typically have a scale length of about 24.4"
Sometimes the Fender and Martin feel too big, but incredibly playable while the Les Paul (when I bum time at my local GC) can "fit" just right, but my fingers feel cramped on the fretboard.
My concern is what is going to happen to my playing technique when jumping back and forth between scale dimensions?
I really love the sound of the twin humbuckers on the Les Paul, just as much as I do the single coils or the bridge humbucker on my Strat. Does anyone have any insights or experience, if I go down this path?
