For many years I’ve wanted to try out the 7/8 strat from Warmoth, and now I finally had the opportunity! I’ve always preferred the shorter 24,75“ scale length that you find on most Gibsons, but I also liked the comfortable body shape of the strat. The two extra frets is also a bonus for me. The body is substantially smaller than a normal strat, but it feels really comfortable. The smaller neck and body makes it a super playable instrument, and the quality of craftmanship provided by Warmoth is really great.
