Replacing the neck with a shorter scale is not likely to work. The distance from the bridge to the 12th fret must be the same as the distance between the 12th and the nut. Unless that just happens to work out (it probably won't) then will have to drill and reposition the bridge on the body. Of course the pups and pickguard are where you probably want the bridge, since it will likely need to be closer to the neck.
Just find a nice shorter scale guitar. The Epi Dot has a shorter scale and a wider fingerboard.
