MEDIUM SCALE CONVERSION NECKS FOR BASS GUITAR
Lowe Custom Guitars 32″ medium scale conversion necks for bass guitar are CNC-milled and finished in the USA. The medium scale conversion neck concept is surprisingly simple. Our unique design moves the headstock and nut to the location of the first fret on a comparable 34” long scale neck. It also adds an overhang with an extra fret at the bridge end of the fretboard.
This innovative configuration yields a 32″ scale, 20-fret neck that will convert a standard long scale bass to medium scale without any additional modification. Imagine de-tuning a bass one-half step and putting a capo on the first fret and you’ve got the idea.
