I find myself inexplicably drawn to it. I'm liking the idea of a medium scale EB-3 type

I'd like it more if it didn't have the white oven knobs.
Is 31.5 inch scale really considered medium? |

I guess all will depend on how that big pickup right there at the neck sounds. |

31.5" is closer to Medium Scale(32") than it is to Short Scale(30"), so why wouldn't it be considered medium scale?

Oh, and that's a hell of a lot of switch options! Quote:

Brian May fanboys might want it immediately, but I'm not sure about that mudbucker. |
