Don't get on with Les Paul's ergonomially (agree a nightmare) or tone wise (muddy and sledge hammer like). Traditional Tele's aren't my bag tone-wise. SG's look horrible and aren't substantial enough. Tried PRS and they are almost too ergonomic, I find the body a slippery bugger when seated, and most i've tried have sounded meh. Love 335's but they're too big.
That's most of the classics out of thw way then!
I dn't understand the scale lenght thing though, within my small collection of 4 electrcis, there are three different scale lengths and I have no problem addapoting to each one, along with differing neck sizes it gives each guitar it's character.

I don't understand it either, but it's a noticeable thing. I play a shorter Gibson scale with 11s and think it feels great. The longer Fender scale I can play with 10s or 11s and again it feels great. With the PRS scale though it just feels weird - whatever gauge strings I use it feels tight, for want of a better word. its just a feel thing, that's the only way I can explain it.

I never claimed it was rational.

I quite like the shorter scale of PRS & Gibson but still gravitate towards towards the fender scale.
Something about the 25.5" scale and a superstrat body just feels like home.
Mostly agree with you. Sometimes accessing the upper frets is a pain but apart from that I love them. I've not played an Axcess model LP yet but the neck joint looks much easier for playing high past the octave.

And then I discovered Teles!
In my opinion the CE's sounded like absolute dog shit until I changed the pickups. The custom 24 was okay but I always picked up my LP Custom instead.
I've got a CE24 coming that I bought mid last year and has spent 18 months being glued back together (UPS) so hopefully I'll like that.
