Well, the only guitar-guitar I own right now is a Mexi-Strat.

I'm guessing it's a longer scale than a Gibson (and similar)?

I'm guessing the shorter (Gibson-type) scale is better for chords closer to the peghead neighborhood, particularly weird jazz chords?

I'm guessing the longer (Strat-type) scale is better for hitting the high-frets and whatnot?

More or less? :confused:

I want to get a guitar that's easier to do the aforementioned weird jazz chords on. It's about as difficult to do them on my Strat as it is on my longscale bass!
