Mooncaster SSB routed for a guitar

[dmraco]

I realize that Warmoth has a mooncaster guitar, but it wold be cool if th mooncaster bass could be routed for a guitar. 

The problem with the guitar body is it is HUGE.  The SSB body seems much smaller.  I am guessing there may be issues with scale length...but this would be cool.

I'm pretty sure that Double A stated in one of the Mooncaster SSB threads that the guitar body is the same size.

Yep....your right.  I just did some digging.    I was comparing to an actual FENDER mooncaster.  My bass just seemed so much smaller.  Maybe it is just an illusion or is the Warmoth body smaller than the fender?

I couldn't say for sure as I've not had my hands on either (in the last 35 years anyway), but my impression is that the Warmoth is pretty close to the original.

There's some discussion about it in this thread.

I am pretty sure he did too.

Warmoth's Mooncaster body is smaller than Fender's Starcaster body.
