Conversion Neck Advice

Post by SKC Willie »

I'm in need of a guitar neck, for super cheap, that will take a telecaster and make it a shorter scale.

I love short scales but my favorite guitar is the thinline telecaster. Does anybody know if the Squier Vintage Modified thinline is a true shortscale or if it is a conversion? I would guess a conversion but I'm not really sure.

Also, are there any conversion necks out there in the under $100 range that would fit a tele?

it is neither a conversion neck nor a shortscale. Get a jagmaster or cv duo sonic neck and adjust the heel if you have to but it shouldn't be necessary.

Ive been trying to sell my cv duo for $150 for a while now but it seems its worth more if I part it or just because these necks are so useful

did not know these were gibson length. i'd assume it's just moved bridge/saddle placement vs. a different neck.
