The last thing I want to do is upset the many, many, many people here who get tremendous sounds out of Gibsons and the shorter scale guitars. Even when I had that old SG I had a luthier friend splitting coils, adding in and out of phase mini switching, and so on, because I wanted the fat, but split Shallers gave me a real stratty clarity too. It seems that you can fatten a strat or tele easily enough, but to get clarity out of the shorter scale requires a little more... work, technique, better ears? No insults intended to the Gibson fans, though. I have 5 letters for ya! G-R-O-S-H...that'll cure the short scale clarity issue ;D

A Tom Anderson Atom is a great instrument for this scale length also. When I tried one I didn't hear that sound I hear with 335s, Les Pauls, you name it, so it could be more going on than the scale length.

Well, to be honest, the Comanche's split single coils and master treble and bass controls give me most of both worlds, PLUS they have a real P-90 thing happening too. You can get them cheaply too if you keep your eyes open. I DO have my feelers out for another PRS sometime in the future, but right now these G&Ls are about all I need, personally. I'm about boutique'd out...
