Does anyone remember that thread about swapping out MIM duosonic necks? they are the wierd 23" scale I think? Am I just manufacturing memories, or did I read that you can drop a 25.5" neck in there, and it intonates... Aug was involved. I remember that...
they're 22.7" scale, i think. i highly doubt you'd be able to drop a 25.5" neck in there. could be wrong, though.
i'll bet you can easily get away with an old 22.5" neck.
I'm getting a supershortscale mexican duo, and was just thnking of future possibilities. I could always move the bridge back in the event I had an extra neck.
I have that squier duosonic which I think is the same as the MIM one. it is the same super short scale. I was thinking about doing this as well. I measured everything for a 25.5 neck. it would be fine. the saddles would have to be adjusted 2-3mm back, it's really not a big deal.
yea, all you have to is measure from the nut to the 12th fret, it should be the same as from the 12th fret to to the bridge. I didn't have a 24" neck to measure but it might work. DDDave is right, the MM saddles have a lot of play.
I'm not a huge fan of the 25.5" scale though, it's just a hair too big IMO. I was thinking of maybe getting one of those warmoth 24.75" necks (since they are designed to go on guitars that normally have 25.5, I know they would fit). might be a little silly to have a neck that nice on a cheap guitar like this though.
the other thing I was thinking about, what do you guys think of changing the neck out on a guitar like this at all? they're out of production guitars, so they're kind of collectors items.
Mage is correct. I had mentioned that I am doing that on my MIM Duo, I just haven't got to finishing it yet. I already used the MIM neck on my son's guitar.
