Carparelli Short Scale 24.75” T-Style First-Ever Short Scale Build

This guitar marks a milestone in the Carparelli shop.

Introducing the first-ever Carparelli Short Scale T-Style, built to deliver classic Tele attitude with the smooth, effortless feel of a 24.75” scale. If you love the warmth and playability of a Les Paul but crave the clarity, snap, and ergonomics of a T-Style guitar—this is it.

From the first chord, this guitar feels broken-in, fast, and incredibly comfortable. Bends are easier, string tension is more forgiving, and the response is rich and balanced across the neck.

🔥 Why Short Scale?

The 24.75” scale length gives this guitar:

• Easier bends and smoother vibrato
• Reduced string tension
• A warmer, more vocal midrange
• A familiar Les Paul–style feel, without losing T-Style character

It’s addictive the moment you pick it up.
