My 270 has been apart for a few months now because I hate the Wizard II and I decided to put it back together as a detune guitar.
So then I was wondering if you could turn it into a W I, I gave up trying to get it as thin as a W I because its just to hard with the headstock on it.
I sanded the bottom edge on a greater angle because that is probably the worst thing about the W II, it digs into my palm, I then plained the back flat to make it more of a U, and smoothed the edges.
I then decided to leave it bare wood so I wiped it with a damp cloth to raise the grain and sanded it, I did that a few times until the water had no effect, It's very very smooth now and shouldn't go black like most bare necks.
believe it or not but this is now a very confortable neck, imho it's better than my W I now, it's like a W I but thicker. The only thing is the fretboard shape and the stock fretwork is horrendous of course.
The guitar now has the modified neck, an edge and airbucker V7 / V8, this is a MUST if you still have V's on your guitar.
I will be playing this guitar alot more now
