I have heard that as well. However my '88 Soloist Archtop is full scale. I have had guys who have had similar era ones swear theirs was shorter. Maybe you could choose between scales?

Since the USA archtops were custom shop guitars, you could choose any scale length you wanted. All of the import archtops (750xl, AT Soloist Pro) were 24.75", however.

I believe the Kramer Pro Axe was also a 24.75" scale. Seems that you can sometimes find those pretty cheapily, given the backlash against most "shred-style" guitar from the '80's and/or Kramer.

The Jackson Fusion HH (import) is a damn good 24-3/4 scale guitar for the money. They do have rosewood boards if you don't mind them, but it has a bound neck and head with dots. I Love that look.

The Kramer Nightswan is also 24.75".

my USA Archtop Soloist is 25.5. My personal favorite is a Superstrat with 24.75 scale and 9-42 strings. My Hamer Firebird 2 is set up like this. Jack.
