Short Scale Blueridge

[Frankmayer]

I am finding it difficult to find straight info on Blueridge scale. Every one I have researched shows 25.5 or so. Which models are out there in either a 14 fret or Cutaway with a 24.xx scale, or do they not exist?

Only models that i know are shart scale are the bgxx series of slope shoulder dreads

Yes...some of the BGs are short scale. 24 3/4 inch, as I recall. They are modeled after a 1950's National Dreadnaught...which was a Gibson Southern Jumbo with a National neck.

The BGs are J45 clones except for the nut width.

Not all of them. The BG-160 has a solid rosewood back and sides. Of all the Gibson dreads, it is more like an Advanced Jumbo. The first photo is of a BG-160. The second is of a pair of vintage Nationals. This was the guitar that was the pattern for the 160.
