The mini-scale length is quite nice for trying to reach flat-sevenths with short-fingered, slightly arthritic hands. Thus I want to put a mini-neck onto another guitar body because the mini-body blows. It's way too easy to hit the pup switch and the thing sounds pretty awful anyway. It also looks kinda silly.

So I got a Squier Bullet Mustang HH for this purpose. From what I've read, it seems the swap might just work without moving the bridge and that there is sufficient adjustment in the bridge to intonate.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of slightly crazy modification?

I would have just bought a vintage Duo Sonic but the prices are simply nuts.

Any help will be appreciated.

Since posting, I've discovered that the Duo Sonic reissues from the early 90's have the short scale-length of the originals. I've just won an auction for a black '93 for a reasonable amount. I'm still peeved Fender changed the scale length on the new Duo Sonics.

Now I can keep the Mustang together and give the Mini away.
