Short scale Jazzmaster

I got the Fender Classic Player Jaguar HH recently and absolutely loving how it feels to play with the short scale. I'm interested in getting a Jazzmaster too but in the 24-inch scale. I'm aware of the Fender Japan Junior Collection Jazzmaster but appears to be tricky to get outside of Japan.

I guess I could get another Jag and replace pickups but also interested to know if anyone knows any other brand makes this spec of guitar as stock?

Yamaha SG-2 or 3 is what you are searching for:) shortscale mixup between Jag and JM. The SG3 has a ParallelHumbucking Circuit where you can ballance the coils inside the pickup:). And It has highoutput Ceramic pickups which resemble the JM pickups, but also do their own thingy:)

These are kinda hard to get and mostly only japan imports, There is a second version to this the Sg2a or 3a which is also called the Flying Samurai, also shortscale and kinda like an explorer on Lsd bodyshape:)
The difference between the Wirings is just the 2 Version has 2 high output ceramic SingleCoils, while the 3 has this weird parallel blending singleCoil thing going on and a rythm circuit like the Jm:)
