If PRS made a 3/4 scale PRS, SE or Maryland-built, would you buy one?

For your child? For yourself?

If you mean a short scale bass with a 408 style bass pickup... then yes.

Yes..I've bought a 3/4 Strat for my oldest (age 5)...and I have an almost 3 year old...so double yes.

Possibly a 3/4 classical. Shortscale bass sounds good too!

Anyone ever see a 3/4 scale pickup?

It seems as though 3/4 sclae guitars are typically reduced in length but the width at the nit and bridge remain the same - probably due to the increased cost of making bridges and pickups that are 75% of the original size. Not to mention the tonal impact of smaller pups.

I would consider buying one for my 4 1/2 year old. However, it would also need to be able to be stepped on, thrown around, and otherwise mistreated by a 4 1/2 year old and be able to stand up to that abuse.

This is my 6 year old daughter Maria playing my Traveler Speedster through a 100-watt Plexi. She doesn't play yet, but she loves making noise. I'd buy one for sure. Hopefully, it would be small enough to use as a travel guitar.

I just tried to upload some video, but it didn't work. I guess I have to upload it to Youtube first.

In the "quick reply" box, you'll see a little icon that looks like a film strip. Post the link there. You will have to host it on youtube or another site first though.
