What difference does it make in both sound and feel to replace the 25.5 Fender Scale with a Gibson 24.5 scale?
Appreciate any input!

Hmmmmm, it might 'sound' ok and it might feel ok as well, but I think you'll have nothing but tuning and intonation problems from the get go. I don't think mixing scales works. What do others think?

You'd have to move the bridge, then it'd probably be fine. That might be cool. The best of both worlds sorta. How it would affect the sound, I don't know, but to get it to intonate correctly, you'd have to move the bridge a bit.

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Telecaster Thinline Electric Guitar comes with a 24.75" scale, the same as the Gibson Les Paul...$279.99 at Musician's Friend

Check out Warmoth, I believe they make a conversion neck so you wouldn't need to move the bridge.
