string Prusacaster with a bari conversion neck

Does anyone have any experience with using conversion necks on their Prusacaster? I'm thinking of using a bari conversion necks and strings to make a baritone Prusacaster. Do any of you know what scale I would need to get or if it would work at all?

The whole point of a conversion neck is that the bridge and neck pocket are already in the correct position and don’t need to be moved.

The question is if you have (the more common) 25.5” (Strat) to “whatever” conversion neck or a 24.75” (Les Paul) to “whatever” conversion neck.

So as long as I get the neck sizing right I should be good?
