Hi,

Any idea if it's possible to make a Custom Scale Length Strat Replacement Neck?
Actually i'm talking 'bout a 27" Scale Lenght, "loaded" with 29! Frets, made with the Method of 12th Root of 2.

Thanks William Sats

Welcome to the Forum.

There are several places that make aftermarket Strat necks. Something like that would probably be pretty pricey.

I don't care 'bout price, only who's gonna do it.
I try to contact with few companies but the answer was negative. The funny thing in the story is that i have the all the details to give'em for the neck.

OK. Sounds like you will have to search for a private luthier.

There are issues with a neck like that. On what kind of body are you thinking about mounting it? Are you planning on having an extended fretboard or a heel all the way to the end?

The 29th fret will be about 2 1/2 inches closer to the bridge than the 21st fret of a "standard" 25 1/2 inch scale neck.

The spacing between the 28th and 29th fret will be 3/10 inch!
