Not sure what your question is here TIO??? But, scale length of course can throw off your "note playing" if unsighted (not looking at the neck). Also, different scale lengths dictate that you string your git differently. The longer the scale, the less tension of string and the shorter the scale the more tension you want on a string.

So, if you're playing 11s on your Fender Strat, you may want to go to 12s on your Gibson. Again, this is a common topic on the Lap Steel forums.
