PRS guitars have a 25" scale length. :)

I have an Ibanez SAS guitar right now and I used to have an S540. The Ibanez S-series guitars are pretty cool and not that common. The S540 was an awesome guitar. I think Ibanez guitars are great value, although they always need a set-up in my experience. I've had to do intonation, action and neck relief adjustments on mine--and the nuts have needed work on them both, which isn't fun.
