Scale length question (warning: guitar photo)

[bolophonic]

I just came across this Reverb listing and it looks to me like the scale length of this non-bass instrument has been modified. I'm curious how an instrument like this could even be intonated with the bridge moved up by several inches. Or am I just imagining that it has a re-positioned bridge?

Hard to tell from the pictures, they may have left the scale the same and replaced a bigsby tailpiece / bridge combo with a "stop" bridge. If they had a nice square-on picture from the front, we could tell by comparing distances, but they're all weirdly angled.

With all the hackjob mods and odd pic angles you're imagining it.
The three screws behind the bridge are from something else.

I was trying to gauge it from the waist of the guitar, but it is so carved up.

Yep, it's an optical illusion. Here's a non-modified one for reference:

Without having it in hand with a tape measure, it’s prolly ok.
