Changing scale
Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2017 7:35 am
Hey guys. You're probably getting tired of all my project idea posts... Haha Got another one. Should be an easy answer though! Just can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for online somehow...
Just found out about the Squier Bullet Mustangs. I'm very intrigued and want to buy one to mod the crap out of it. At first I had the idea to just do the basics. New bridge pickup, tuners, etc. But then I thought more about it. I've wanted a Strat scale Mustang for a long time. This seems like a great opportunity to do just that. I know the neck will (should) fit just fine in the pocket... but obviously the bridge needs to be slid back a bit.
The big question I have is how much? Pretty sure I already know but I just want to be 100% sure. Since it's going from 24" scale to 25.5" (1.5" difference), I only need to move it back half that distance, correct? The neck length takes care of the other half? So I should only need to re-drill the mounting holes 3/4" back from where it is stock?
