I know many here are enjoying the heck out the 509, especially the amazing WL runs that have been rolling out.
Unfortunately, I can’t find one to play near me, at least yet. I’m really curious about the 25.25” scale length and how that feels to S-type guitar players?
It’s dawning on me that this may be the closest PRS will do to a Super S guitar - though it may be nice if they offered a 24 fret version (maybe the pickup spacing wouldn’t work unless the scale is bumped up to 25.5?).
Anyways, as someone who learned to play on a S guitar, and has that feel ingrained in my brain and fingers - how much difference does that .25” affect that feel in your opinions? As an adult and long time PRS fanboy, the 25” feels “right” to me as well. I’m just curious why the 509 has the unusual scale length and what people think of it.
Thanks for any thoughts and input!
