So I am thinking of getting a Danelectro Hodad (black of course) and was wondering if you guys think I could swap the neck of it for one of these:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Danelectro-Vintage-1959-59-Reissue-NECK-TUNERS-Black-/360460569652?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item53ed1fcc34#ht_1161wt_1166
I've asked around and no one has given me a good answer. This is the deciding factor on if I buy a Hodad.

Do both guitars have the same scale length and number of frets?

I think they are both 21 frets, just if you like at the Hodad and compare the neck to a Pro or Wild Thing the neck looks longer.

So good. Seems like it'll be an easy swap, which I may not even have to do.
