Hi. I keep reading posts about converting a Rogue RS-1 to a 22.5 scale, using a Georgeboard. Would love to see pics of how this was done. Don't see how the stock bridge can be moved far enough back without going over the cliff so what kind of bridge was used, how was it mounted, how far back the nut was moved etc. THANKS!

I did it a couple of weeks ago. You have to move the nut as well as the bridge, but there is room - just - for the modification.

A major advantage is that it makes palm blocking on the bridge a lot more comfortable because the volume and tone controls no longer get in the way.

The only disadvantage (well, depends on your point of view) is that the instrument sounds a bit more mellow because the pickup is further from the bridge.
