Reading this thread is like watching Napoleon Dynamite....

"Made in USA & with an OFR" was totally implied in the title.
I've been on the lookout for a USA Fusion (or maybe even a 750xl) in my area, so long as the neck ain't too thin.

Maybe you should order a Custom Shop then.

That is what the custom shop is for.

750xl neck = not thin

Sure, I could custom order one, but that's really not what I'm getting at. I wish gtr companies were more like clothing companies. I'd like the choice of trying a Soloist, off the rack, in more than 1 size. Not just for me, for everyone.
Sure, you'll alway get those who say, "a Soloist isn't a Soloist unless it has a 25.5 scale", and "a Les Paul aint a Les Paul unless it's 24.75", and "a strat ain't a strat unless it's 25.5", blah, blah, blah, fart.
I bought a Dickies Hoodie Yesterday in a Medium. I love it. I hated the large, though.
Smell what I'm steppin' in?

USA Fusion = thin neck

To be honest, I don't notice a heck of a lot of difference in the neck feel of my Fusion versus my 25.5 scale guitars. Also, 22 frets or 24 frets don't seem to make much of a difference to me either. Some days I'm in the mood for the Model 2, some days the Fusion, and other days the Skull and Snakes. Scale length and number of frets isn't a part of the thought process when I want to pick one of my guitars up.

I'll put my Schaller Floyded guitars up against an OFR any day of the week too.

so, does anyone know of any 24 3/4 inchers that J/C made, before the fusion & 750's debuted???

[shadowcat]

well IIRC before the 750XL (which debuted in 1989) pretty much everything was a custom guitar...

i really like 25.5"
