Simulating a long scale guitar by moving the stop tail to back?

Question

Posted

It just came into my mind to make my MIK Standard a bit more snappy. It has classic single coil pickups built under a humbucker hat in it and obviously is a short or Gibson scale guitar.

In order to support the classic Strat tone a bit more, I thought it might be possible to move the stop tail further to the back to tighten the string tension to reach long scale tensions and therefore sound. The bridge would remain at its place or what would I have to do to accomplish the idea?

What do the experts say?

Snappiness also comes from bolt-on necks, but you'd have a hard time to make that change on your guitar. :)

I don't believe so. My Tally proofs the opposite.
