Firstly I would like to say that it is not realistic to make a 24" scale neck as a replacement for a body that has been cut out and bridge possitioned for a 25.5" neck. It would cause bad intonation problems.

here try these.

i figure that it there really is a market for this application,
somebodies R&D team would have already been on the ball with it.
listed above is a company that already does this. problem solved

Thanks for that link Way Cool Jr. It only goes to show that I am not on my own with the sizing idea. Its fair to say that they will not be to everyones taste but the 24" scale opens up some new possibilities for regular sized players as well as solving problems of smaller players.

The teenage girl who replied a little higher up the page has good points about the sound from a 24" neck. All I can say to you is, everything is a trade off. What you will lose from one scale length you will gain something else from the other. It's already there now with the difference between the standard Fender 25.5" scale and the 24.75" Gibson scale. One sounds different to the other, but because they have both been around since the year dot, everyone excepts the difference in sound and uses it to effect. Fender (allbeit Squier) have 24" scale guitars for your appraisal, if you get to try them, look for something extra they have to offer rather than what you have been used to. It's there, you just have to look past the end of your nose.
