Fun sized Fendr/Thunderbird question

[slotrod65]

I have a Squier Bronco, and although I have it dialed in set-up wise, I just cannot seem to get the sounds out of it that I want to. I was thinking of building a FUN sized (short scale) non-reverse Fenderbird out if it.

So.... My question for the panel is: Should I take a Thunderbird plan and down size it 88% (34" vs 30")?

Use a full sized non reverse Thunderbird pattern?

Or a Firebird pattern?

Any thoughts?

Firebird & Thunderbird bodies are the same size. I would think that full size would work.

You could also reduce the body by 10%, but seeing how T-birds are notorious for neck-dive, I think that I would go for the full size body.

Just my opinion.

Another idea is that epi thunderbirds have a smaller neck pocket like the bronco-
Maybe grab one off eBay and see if the parts could work?
That'd be a pretty badass bird!
