Medium Scale String Options

The winding lengths on my Fender MIJ P and Aerodyne Jazz is between 33 1/2" to 34 3/4" (nut to bottom edge of 1st post) and my Yamaha Motion is 34" to 35 3/4". I currently have GHS Boomers Medium scale but they changed the winding lengths on them to 35 1/2" so those won't work on my Fenders anymore. I ordered some EB Medium Scale Slinky Nickels but haven't tried them yet.

For those of you playing rounds on your 32" medium scale what strings are you using?

Dunlop Super Brights, both SS and NPS, are available in "medium scale" with 34" winding length (ball to taper). D'Addario "medium scale" is also 34" in winding length.

So, looks like GHS "medium scale" (35.5" winding) is still good on the Yamaha.
