                Best 24.75" Scale Parlor Guitars in 2023

                Here you'll find the best 24.75" scale Parlor style guitars. This is the scale length used in most Gibson guitars. If you like the playability of a Gibson, this guitar will feel pretty similar. It's a lot shorter than the typical Stratocaster (25.5'')

                As you can see from the picture above, a shorter scale length also means shorter separation between frets. If you got really small hands, you probably will feel more comfortable playing this guitar than a Fender Stratocaster.

                This scale length also allows for easier bends and vibratos because the strings will have lower tension due to the shorter scale.

                Finally, another thing affected by scale length is tone. A shorter scale will give less room for the harmonics, thus resulting in a warmer, more 'bassy' tone.

                Still, remember that you string gauge plays an important part in all of this. A lighter gauge will make it easier to perform bends, vibratos and will also give you a brighter tone.

                Out of the more than 2000 guitars in our database, these are the best scoring ones.
