Tele style guitar with gibson scale length?

BowynMadley

Does such a thing exist or am I mad for even thinking it? For me it would be a great combination. 
Thoughts?

Tom Anderson (Cobra or shorty T) does what you want.

Why not be done with it and have 6 saddles? How about a nice body contour thrown in for good measure as well??

You disgust me.

Fender Telesonic, if you can find one.

You could always swap the neck. Most of the parts guys (warmth, musikraft, etc) do conversion necks for just this function. 

I have a Musikraft 25" scale neck on my Cabronita which works great.

There was a Squier Vintage Modified Tele Thinline with 24-3/4" scale too.

I thought it would be a good combination too, but it wasn't. It didn't feel right or sound right at all.

Anderson will do a 'Shorty' and I've seen the odd used example around - I'd have to check with Fender Custom Shop as it is a request I've never been asked about or indeed seen - ditto for Masterbuilt

Here is my Warmoth build. Not one for the purists but it works for me!

I know it's wrong, but it feels so right!

Baker, B3 Phoenix? Gorgeous too.....

Not sure it would sound like a Tele. The longer scale is a significant part of what gives Fenders their "twang".
