Hi all,

I'm interested in the Super Sonic, however I know the neck scale is too small for my fingers and playing style. I wouldn't have a problem getting the bridge readjusted if necessary to accommodate a 25.5 scale neck...would just like some input to see if it's worth it or just pass on the guitar if too much trouble...any help is appreciated - Thnx.

It ain't easy, and my guess is you won't find anyone who has done it before.
It's of course doable, but the first things to check are the neck pocket, then bridge placement, pickguard, possibly pickup positions... And, you'd of course need the SuperSonic and the 25.5 neck at hand when planning these.

Anyway, be sure to document & post the process if you decide it's a go.

BTW, on that 'too small for my fingers and playing style'; no offence, but my guess is that it's just prejudice. Try playing a mandolin, you may find new horizons :wink:

Hey thanks...that is helpful...it's already sounding like too much trouble for the worth so I am probably going to say for now it's a NO GO.

And no offense taken...it's more my personal preference. I started with classical guitar b4 electric...always liked the feel of a flatter, wider neck, narrow frets...likewise, no offense, I don't play mandolin or banjo either. Thanks again.
