Re: short scale neck conversion
i think theyre fatter. im pretty sure they come with a very bulky dual truss rod for 2 way bowing. More metal in the neck=more brittle tone. Stick to a classic fender style neck, nothing fancy is really necessary.

Re: short scale neck conversion
The coversion neck does come with a double expanding truss rod. This rod is not capable of 2 way bowing. Instead of pulling the neck ends together to create the bow like a vintage rod, it actually creates a bow against itself inside and bows the neck in a healthier more stable fashion. We make these truss rods here in house. There is slightly more metal mass in these necks adding to their sustain. 85% percent of all necks that leave Warmoth have these nice truss rods in them and that's a lot of necks out there singing in the world.
With a 24 3/4" scale conversion neck, you won't have to stretch as hard to bend your notes up to pitch. The strings feel slinky'er. The notes aren't as defined sounding as a Strat but rather tend to sound slightly slushy'er like a Les Paul does. Power chords sound cool. It's all good, just different. I use both and swap between them for live shows without a problem.
Hope this helps.
