Hold on a sec...

Moving the bridge is exactly what you'd need to do in order to make this work. Although it might be easier to route the neck pocket deeper into the body, if the guitar has a trem. You can also move both. Or depending on how much travel you have in the saddles, you might be able to get away with moving the neck or bridge just part of the way, and use the saddles to make up the difference.

Kind of a cool-looking guitar, actually.

You can easily figure out how much you'd need to move things using Stew Mac's Fret Scale calculator

A strat-style bridge should be set at 23.765" (±0.030") from the nut for a 24" scale neck.

That compares to 24.507" (±0.030") for a 24.75" scale neck. We're talking a move of about 0.7 an inch --that's not a whole lot.

From my own build, I found that StewMac's calculator is so accurate that the guitar was already pretty intonated before I even started adjusting the bridge. Pretty cool really.

Thanks a lot!

Oh ok. I thought you could just move the bridge up but no harm. I just wanted to use an old mustang neck I had laying around.

I recently aquired a cyclone body that im going to total redo. But the problem is I want the scale to be 24" and the cyclone is 24.75. could I just move the bridge forward that .75 or will the pickgaurd alinment and stuff be messed up. Thnaks.

Yes definetly get a book or two they help alot. also go to www.stewmac.com

i had to vote stews that design is great!

Can someone make a cad for this?

Thanks for the fast replys i was just wondering if you could use it to build guitars. Cause i like light guitars.

Ok then.

I am a noob at his stuff but what do people mean by plywood guitar? I heard its really light Do i use regular plywood for the body blank?
