guitarman Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I have an opportunity to lay my hands on a stratosonic neck for a good price....I am pretty sure this thing will fit on my unfinished strat body but I am worried!!! I worry I will end up with a useless neck. This thing is a 24 3/4" scale which is not standard scale... Will this work on a strat? Just a minor intonation adjustment....or radical disaster!! Am I doing a dumb thing?? You can be honest!! I would love to put this on my strat body, but it is a standard strat body that has a tremolo rout... I was going to block the trem anyway...or tighten the springs until the trem was meaningless. CAN I BUY THIS NECK OR IS THAT A BIG MISTAKE?!? Any information or opinion is DESPERATELY NEEDED for I am a newb building my first solidbody... Thanks to ANYONE who replies!!! Guitarman.

DannoG Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 (edited) No. It won't work if it's a different scale. Edited November 8, 2004 by DannoG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dugz Ink Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 This thing is a 24 3/4" scale which is not standard scale... As I recently learned, that's the scale that Gibson uses. You can not make it work on a body that has already been routed for a Strat neck and bridge; bridges simply don't adjust far enough to make up for a ¾" difference.
