I think you'd be better off with the Spirit GT-Pro or the slightly earlier Hohner equivalent (same Steinberger-licensed hardware) than with something with a radically different, nearly impossible-to-intonate scale length. The Spirit is about 30", and in its gig bag still less than 33", although for travelling you'll get funny looks because it's somewhat weaponish-looking. But then again, burly men in dark suits with light ties carrying violin cases used to get that reaction, and times change. In any case, stay far, far away from the Epiphone 1/2 scale series which are really nothing more than childrens' toys. I bought a "Wee Vee" to cannibalize for parts (needed a half-scale neck for a full-scale electric cello project), and before dissembling it, I played it for a little while and could safely say that it would NEVER play in tune. Besides, they've only got one pickup and I, like you, am very fond of my neck pickup. The Spirit, on the other hand, while still the target of scorn from owners of composite Steinys, intonates accurately, stays in tune extremely well, meets your size requirements and is a bargain. -t- --- Krispen Hartung <khartung@cableone.net> wrote: > Looks cool, but 38 inches is too long.
