Short scale

What's Hot
PopDufcPopDufc Frets: 4
I have a hankering for a 24" scale 12" radius guitar. 
All I can see is the Music Man Cutlass Short Scale and the Squire Paranormal Jaguar HH.
Both tick the boxes. I have tried the squire and nice but a but to many sonic options! 
Haven't tried the Cutlass but tremalo option is good.
Are there any alternatives out there. 
I can't do with fender smaller neck radius.

    There's a japanese made Fender 'Junior' series that were released recently. Don't know the radius though. Fairly spendy for what they are though.

    I've got a short scale cutlass.

    What is the Cutlass like and hiw was it "out the box" looking for something easier to play comfortably.

    I had one of those MIJ teles with the short scale. Build quality was top notch. Great little guitar. But little was really the main word there... had to send it back because it did really feel like a kids guitar

    Fender Modern Player Jaguar - 24” scale, and 12” radius. Also, IIRC, dispenses with the usual overly-complicated Jaguar switching bits’n’bods.

    edit - ignore me. It has a 9.5” radius :-(
    I play guitar because I enjoy it rather than because I’m any good at it

    Squier Bullet Mustang (in all colours) was 12" radius. They're discontinued now -- replaced by the Squier Sonic Mustang, which are 9.5".

    Also might be worth noting that the Bullet necks are thinner (the neck profile I mean, not the nut width), whereas the new Sonic series are a little thicker

    I believe 800-900, there is a mint one on reverb at the minute somewhere in the 600's. But 9.5 radius

    shorter but not fully short? https://www.andertons.co.uk/brands/eastcoast/eastcoast-jg-offset-electric-guitar-hh-in-white
    it is 12" radius, if the strat copy I have is anything to go by it'll be good out of the box

    Depending on budget, a Charvel 750XL ticks all the boxes.
