Need help, need to replace 35" Scale 24 fret 4 string neck, since it is cracked, can I just buy a 34" scale neck? I would need to move the bridge, correct? I am looking at a cheap solution. Anyone?

Are you sure it's a 35" scale neck? I rarely see those for 4-string models, and it's usually only boutiques/customs.

If you decide to get a neck of different length, there's a good chance your bridge can stay exactly where it's at, with just some large intonation adjustments.

They say 35" scale on the web site...
