Core CE 24 neck swap

[alex1fly]

Can it be done? I have a core CE 24 and the thin neck just cramps the heck out of my hand. I have it listed for sale but would be willing to keep it if I could swap another neck onto it. Bonus points if there’s a baritone conversion neck.

It's a bolt on. You can swap.

With what? Like Warmoth makes Strat necks etc. Who makes a neck that’ll fit and retain tuning/intonation?

Good luck finding one and prs won't sell a neck.

He didn't ask for a PRS neck.. figured didn't care when he threw out baritone.

Google is your friend man.. your rabbit hole. I spent 5 min searching and found one spec'd exactly how I'd want for $600+. Not saying he's the way to go but the chase is half the project fun.

Unless you can find an early maple-board CE neck, you’d have to get one custom made. I’ve never seen an aftermarket neck with the extended tenon that goes under the neck pickup.

This is kinda what I figured. I’ve never seen a PRS licensed neck offered by a legit neck maker or by PRS for that matter. I’d love to just pop a pattern vintage neck on this guitar.

You *might* find a Regular/Standard neck for a CE24, but they’re rare even with having a guitar attached to them. You won’t find a Pattern Vintage bolt-on.

Pattern vintage bolt on doesn’t exist.

Thanks all. Too bad.

I indeed would have one made to your liking by a local guitar builder / luthier...
