Is it possible to change scale? 
Hi luthiers and others,

Can you tell me whether it's possible to change the scale of a guitar very easily? I presume it's not.

thanks,

Conrad

Well you will need to remove the fingerboard and put on a new one. Not impossible but not cheap either. It would be difficult to change it more than 5mm or so and make it look like it was original.

It´s possible, but not easily and besides, it´s a bad idea
