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

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.

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

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.

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

westtexasred wrote:$6,995.00? Is this Lake Placid Blue rarererer than the Sonic blue ???
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.

Yeah, that's blue. It has greened a bit.
Here's mine (again).
