Hey Guys!

I've recently acquired a Hannah Montana 3/4 scale electric guitar. It seems like a crime against humanity and a general affront to metal in general, so I aim to re-appropriate the guitar. It's a Washburn and actually not that shoddily made, especially compared to typical entry level guitars.

I'm looking to give it a full custom metal treatment. It'll have a nasty mural-like paintjob, bells & whistles to disguise it's shameful past. The cosmetic stuff I feel confident about, but the more tech sided aspects I am somewhat unsure of. So, I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions. I am particularly curious about using full scale components, and whether it would cause any problems. Right now it has a couple of 'meh' single coil pickups, but I aim to give it a single hot humbucker, if I can find a reasonable deal I would love for it to be a dimebucker or EMG 81. My big question is whether there'd be any obvious pitfalls in attempting this, I wonder if the scale of the guitar would prevent it from working. I'd also like to replace the bridge (the current one reminds me a bit of ones seen on telecasters) to a simple stop bridge... like a tune-o-matic. I have similar wonderings whether scale is an issue.

Am I setting myself up for a headache, or is this possible?
