Inisheer Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Sorry if this is a dumb question......but is it possible to change a guitar with 22 frets so that it has 24 frets? Could I just replace the neck with a 24 fret one if they are the same scale (ie. 25.5")? Not sure if this would work because the distance to the bridge might be slightly longer, messing up the tuning or something. Just curious, anybody have any ideas?

Mattia Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Depends on the neck, but as a rule, probably not without enlarging the neck pocket, I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeiscosRock Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Put a new fretboard on and have overhang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inisheer Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 ^ Maybe I'll do that. Instead of switching the entire neck, I'll just put on a new fingerboard. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonx Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Put a new fretboard on and have overhang. Yes it is possible if you dont mind te overhang. I recently did this with a BCR neck. I also chaned the scale (which means you also have to change everything to do with the body as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
