It is interesting. My Tele definitely sounds twangier to me than my Strat, but these are the only 25 1/2" scale guitars I have (up and running, anyway). I wasn't aware that twanginess was also inherent in the longer scale. (Seemed to me it would have been chunkier since longer scales seem to be favoured for metal.)

I learned something new today. Can I go home now? :)
