OK, I found the short-scale Decade thread. Dan had several at the LOG event that were 110% awesome. It was like playing a solid, road-worthy Guild Starfire with Bi-Sonics or Dark Stars. That's the tone Dan was chasing when designing the shorty and they nailed it, in my opinion. If they only produced short-scale Decades going forward I would not complain one bit.
The protos were not for sale (USA necks with Skyline bodies) but I think the interest level at the LOG meet was high.
