wanna replace my neck...

[fibredrive]

hi all;
am looking to replace the neck/fretboard of my old yamaha 912j. now, i don't have the faintest clue as to what necks are out there or even what u call em, and this being my first foray into 'mods', so, all advice is much appreciated.
basically, am looking for a shallower one, with smaller fret wires and a maple fingerboard.
questions are;
1) how much??
2) who can do this?
3) should i do this? will it complement my guitar? anything to look out for?

i hate the jumbo fret wires and rosewood board now. i played a maple/thinner neck at guitar connection and loved it (was a fender). wished my yamaha could have the same feel. so, thot i could replace it.

awaiting ur replies/advice. cheers!

Take your guitar to guitar connection and let kelvin take a look. He might be able to offer you some advice or help you out with the mods.

hmmm, now why didn't i think of that? lol.
but seriously, short of doing that, any idea how much the whole job might cost? cos if too much might as well get a 2nd hand fender...hehe.

I would get another guitar myself. Necks are usually not interchangable.

yeah kinda figured the cost of the replacements might not be worth the while already. hmm. guess i'll juz save up a little more and get a 2nd hand...
