Short scale squier or fender?

I'm interested in getting a short scale squier or fender, preferably a musicmaster or something similar. I've only played long scale, but like the idea of having one to switch it up a little. The squier vintage modified jaguars are pretty cheap ($200, but only righty as far as I can tell), so I was thinking about getting one and then switching the strings and nut. But I know flipping righty to lefty opens a lot of other potential annoyances.

Tips? Suggestions? Thanks!

There have been a number of 32" squires posted on the Southpaw Spotted section in the past few days.

Those are medium scale. A shorty is gonna be around 30".

Saw that one, but not really my price range.
