Recently found this group after acquiring my latest Offset Guitar.
I was a guitar collector in my early days. I was fond of smaller bodied acoustics and had a handful of electric guitars..ES-335, Fender '52 AVRI Telecaster, Les Paul Custom, etc.
10 years after retiring I downsized and moved to a retirement facility.
Got into playing bass guitar late in life and stumbled across my first Offset instrument by pure accident...a Fender Mustang Base. I totally loved the concept of a short scale instrument and unloaded my full size bass guitars. Picked up a short scale Fender Kingman bass also!
My only electric guitar consisted of a Fender Telecaster, however, as I aged I was having difficulty playing it. I wondered if short scale guitars would be as effective as short scale bass for playing ease. Tried out a Mustang guitar and became sold on the concept!
I now own a Fender Mustang Bass, Fender Mustang guitar and a Squire Jaguar Contemporary HH ST. I love the off set bodies and the shorter scales. I find myself playing the Offset Guitars more than anything in my limited collection. All my electric guitars are short Scale Offset bodies! Call me a convert!
