you can find a crappy guitar with emgs in it already for 200 dollars if you look hard enough.
it would cost you a lot more than that in actual dollars and time to do what you're talking about. refinishing a guitar is also a much more involved task than you may think it is... i tried doing this last year and i'm kicking myself still because i have a guitar with an awful finish and no electronics sitting in my room after 8 months because it ended up looking so bad that i had to strip the mural off (it got wet and the finish was ruined.. you can't use poly finish like furniture... it's porous and not hard enough)

you'd have to replace all the other electronic components to put an emg in it too. not sure if anyone else said that. volume pots, output jack, etc. especially since you're talking about a 3/4 (i'm assuming it's a child size guitar) instrument, it would always be really spongy sounding, emg or otherwise. short strings are going to be floppy even when tuned up to standard pitch. science. i would be taken aback by a short scale guitar with hannah montana on it that was well made...i think it would be worth more to sell that to someone on craigslist and use the cash to get a real instrument.

or play power violence on it.
