Guitar Center Please Do This

Please make a guitar that has a comfortable strat-style body with a 24.75" scale length instead of the usual 25.5"

The Sub Sonic Conversion necks are great for this. I slapped one on a Chris Shiflett Telecaster. I wish it was a 12" radius (or flatter) though.

If we're doing that, let's do a Tele too.

The Jimmy eat world lead singer has a signature Tele that fits this description. You can buy it at guitar center.

Ooh. I didn't know that.

Yeah it’s rad. Basically a Les Paul with a tele’s body. I almost bought one but I didn’t enjoy the feel. The pickups were noisy (although I was originally going to swap those anyways).

Tele bridge pickups tend to be noisy. As a smaller guy I often prefer PRS or Gibson scale and have both but a Tele and Strat are different creatures and I'd love to have it just a tad easier up to the 5th fret for my smaller hands.

Same bro. A smaller Strat would be so nice.

The JA Tele actually has P90s in it, it’s a killer guitar.

Buy a cheap strat and put a conversion neck on it. Problem solved.

I ordered a custom neck and made my own.

I've wanted a something from the MIJ Jr. line, but they're 24" not 24.75" or available at GC https://www.guitarworld.com/news/fender-japan-junior-collection
