![]() ![]() My suggestion is to find a friend with a digital camera and post some pictures. I think something that some posters aren't getting (though others have certainly stated it obliquely) is that if you put a 14-fret neck on a 12-fret body, in order to make it work, because you've, in effect, pulled the nut north two frets, you have to bring the bridge north the same distance to maintain the same scale length. You can't just put these things where you feel like putting them-they're "connected". The bridge has to be 24.9" down from the nut, and a different neck length moves the nut, thus also the bridge, is another way to state it. The other way to deal with it is to put on a longer neck, and then lengthen the scale length so that the 14th fret of THAT scale came out at the body line. That would require something like a 27 inch scale, which ain't gonna happen, unless this guitar is strung as a bass or a banjo.īottom line, this guitar is impossible. It CANNOT be a 12 fret body made into a 14 fret guitar, unless the bridge has been moved north on the body about an inch and a half, leaving an exposed mess, or it's been converted to some unplayable scale length. Unless photos prove otherwise, which I am willing to bet they are NOT.
