If I had to give a real answer, I would say that under the right conditions, yes, by all reason one could reasonably expect there to be some limited difference.

If this is the case, no invasive mods I don't see any harm in it but I also don't see any benefit what so ever.

I can't remember if there are any mods to the end of the fret board but I think that there probably weren't.
