do les pauls and dc juniors look daft on 6"4 blokes?

I'm a real short ass at only 5ft 7 inches...jeez I'm so envious of you 6ft plus guys!! When I posted my first YouTube vid with my 69 Strat, one viewer thought my Strat looked bigger than a regular one. That was deflating! Lol

I'm 5'6" but I like my height (or lack thereof).  I don't play guitar in public so it's irrelevant really, but I've decided it's probably inappropriate to buy Vs or Explorers.  I like 336s rather than 339s and I like LP Juniors.

Strats do look big on me but you know what they say, dark colours are slimming - I like maple-board Strats in dark colours.  Although I do also have a white one.

Warmoth make a 7/8-size, 24-3/4"-scale Strat and I like the idea of one of those, but you have to have a 24-fret neck which I don't particularly want.

Strats look and feel huge on me too! Teles are ok but still a bit long in the neck. It's pretty much Jrs, SGs, Mustangs or similar for me to be comfortable.
