How big a difference do you notice moving from the longer Fender scale to the shorter Gibson scale? I was told that I would definitely feel the difference when bending strings.

 

 

It's definitely different. Shorter scales with the same gauge string has a little less tension. I've put on 11s on 24.75 scale and I like it quite a bit. But I don't really care that much. I can play either.

You do indeed. Moving to a shorter-scale guitar definitely creates an 'easier' feel.
