I think that something to note on this model is that rosewood bridge piece. The new models got rid of the rosewood strip
in favor of adjustable saddles. Though I do hear that the new saddles are still not easy to get at for adjustment.
And they do come in short scale.
I haven't found any evidence of a short-scale version.
Anyway the adjustablity of the saddles isn't much to worry about considering that you have to remove the neck to adjust the truss.
