Have an older 22 inch electric guitar and wondering if converting to a baritone will be as easy as a new 4 string nut and know other changes.
Neck will be a little wider than normal, but less than .25-inch difference in normal baritone uke.
Any input would be appreciated.
 
22" is a little longer than my baritone, a Brunswick with a 20" scale ... just a point for consideration. An alternative might be a tenor guitar tuned GDAE or CGDA ;)
 
I converted a 22" scale Epiphone Les Paul Express electric guitar to a bass. I replaced the nut and the bridge, and just this week replaced the guitar tuners with bass tuners, but I left the original guitar pickups and it sounds great. The repair guy at Guitar Center West Los Angeles who put in the tuners said all the personnel were amazed at how I did it and how good it sounds.
