Could you put a 24" or 25.5" scale neck on a Swinger Body?

24" or 25.5",the Swinger neck is 22.5".

I'd imagine you could probably put a 24" neck on it as they made those necks for 22.5" mustangs, duos and mms?
25.5" I doubt.

right, and if my understanding is correct, 24" and 22.5" are interchangeable, but 25.5" requires bridge relocation. that's why i wanted to make sure you weren't confused.

Crazy price but a beautiful guitar.

Did you notice the F tuners on the white one? Looks like they aren't orginal to that guitar.

Now there's a third one! LPB

The guy must be selling off someone's collection.

Yeah, those F tuners are replacements.

$6,995.00? Is this Lake Placid Blue rarererer than the Sonic blue ???

Sven · Post by **Sven** » Fri Apr 06, 2012 7:51 pm

Personally I've seen more in sonic blue than LPB, but that doesn't neceassarily justify his pricing. He's dreaming. He could cut that price in half and it still would be on the high end.

Oh man. I'd go HAM on that blue swinger.

pretty much any swinger is rare given that only 3 hundry of them were made. still its a guitar that just cause its rare don't mean its worth 5K +

I did wonder whether it was Barry Richman's collection, but the damage on the Oly White doesn't tie up.

Is that really LPB? If it's not a refin it's darker than any LPB I've ever seen, though it's too blue to be Charcoal Frost.

Sven · Post by **Sven** » Mon Apr 09, 2012 12:28 am

Yeah, that's blue. It has greened a bit.

Here's mine (again).
