last summer i converted an old all-solid-birch harmony parlor, 24" scale, to a nylon strung acoustic-electric (new bridge, some thinning of the top & the ladder braces, UST added).. it sounded good but i tuned it two frets high (using normal tension strings) like having a capo at the second fret, E=F#--like 'almost terz it was bought by a frontperson from a major touring/recording americana alt-country band--they fell in love with it!..so i'm on the lookout for similar guitars for the same kind of conversion.
