Cherryburst Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) I was reading through some old threads and I found this one. I've had almost the exact same idea for a 26.5" scale neck. What one could do is buy an unfretted Warmoth neck with the 24 fret extension which adds 1.062" (scroll halfway down) http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Necks/FretboardExtensions.aspx Glue a piece of wood under that extension and drill new mounting screw holes about 1" offset from the originals - then you could mount the neck to the standard holes on the body, and the nut would be 1" further back for 26.5" from the bridge. Then using the Stewmac fret-scale calculator, cut fret slots and install frets for a 26.5" scale. You would still have a 22 fret guitar (or maybe 21 frets - I calculated it a while back) Might that work?
