Is it possible to replace a MIK Wizard neck with a MIJ one on my 2170?


Hey guys, first post here but i have been reading these forums for a while.

Anyway, my situation is a bit wierd. My first Ibanez guitar after 8 years of playing was the S prestige 2170se. I admit i was pretty ignorant of how Ibanez worked and i figured it was an expensive Ibanez that said it had a wizard II neck so it had to be a great shredder guitar like i wanted. I've had it for a year now and do love it, but after playing some cheap MIJ guitars i realized the difference between the two.

So to the point, i dislike the thickness of it, the lack of 24 frets and the way the action seems to not be set that low. I love the unique body and amazing tone though, and was wondering, if done by professionals that i know have the potential to do something like this for me, is it possible to put any kind of Jap wizard 24 fret neck on the guitar? Or possible one of those custom necks for Warmoth if the latter wouldnt work? Or is it completely impossible.

I am a complete noob when it comes to parts and guitar techy stuff, but i would be sure to absorb any information you guys can give before actually asking anybody to work on my guitar.

Thanks alot for reading

-Adam

you buy a custom neck that is aanj with wizard profile and have the 23 and 24th frets hanging, but they may hit the pups

You should be able to fit an MIJ S wizard 22 fret neck with minimal work. You may just need to fill the neck holes with dowel and redrill them to match your body.
