I am very please with how this guitar turned out. I always had a hard time playing a Stratocaster because the 25.5" scale was just too much of a stretch for me small hands. I know, there are tons of people with small hands that play great on a strat! I am not one of them. I am a guitar idiot who can use all the help I can get. That is why this full body 24" scale strat is perfect for me.

Great video! Just what I was looking for.
I am pretty happy with the results. I know I can buy a Squier Mustang (which I have), but this is pretty cool.
Hi. Great video, thanks for sharing it. I'm thinking of doing the same project, but thought that in order to intonate the guitar properly I would have to move the bridge forward by 1.5 inches, the difference between 25.5 inch standard Strat scale length and the 24 inch new scale length. You don't seem to have needed to do this? Can you help me to understand where my thinking is incorrect please? Thanks
Sure. Think of the 24" scale neck the same way you would the normal 25.5" scale neck with a capo on the first fret. Intonation is still correct with the capo, right? Now instead of using a capo, just "remove" that first fret altogether, now you will have a 24" scale neck. No need to move the bridge.
Yeah ok, understood. Thanks a lot 👍 @@GearGadgetExperiments
What if you take a full size Strat and tune down 1 half step then put a capo on the first fret? By the way, the Jake E Lee signature ESP guitar had a full size Strat body with a 24 inch scale neck. I'm like you, my hands are small and its difficult for me to do arpeggios because the stretch is just out of my reach with my little finger, but I don't want a "mini" guitar. I want a regular body with a 24 inch scale neck, which Fender doesn't make, at least, not a Stratocaster. What I REALLY want is full size body with a 24 inch scalloped neck and vintage tremolo.
Yes, tune down 1/2 step and a capo would work the same. But I like the fret markers to be in the right place too. But there are certainly advantages to the detune and capo method. Like you can take the capo off and quickly start playing GNR or Social D songs. haha
lol this isnt how guitars work. you cant put a 24" neck on a large scale body without moving the bridge which isnt worth the trouble for something with a trem. you need a new body for a 24" neck. All your frets are in the wrong places it will never intonate. I mean...if you only ever use the first fret its fine 😂
Not necessarily true for all cases. Think of using a capo, do you need to move to bridge to stay intonated? Squire 24" scale necks are made like a capo'd 25.5" scale with the first fret removed. This guitar does properly intonate.
