I think there are many of us builders on the forum who could do that, but I'd think any builder past a certain level would likely prefer to build his/her own neck for the instrument as well. It could be a clone of the neck you have, or same shape/dimensions for the neck but with a different headstock.

Anyhow, that's what I would suggest...

It's a bit of an odd request. What happen to the guitar that this neck used to belong to? I take it you really like the feel of the neck but maybe the guitar was destroyed? If I were to do it personally I would not allow the Yari logo on the head stock. I'm not sure any luthier would want to do that. A headstock is a makers mark of sorts for many luthiers.

If there are still pieces of the body left over they could be used in the rosette and it could be thought of as a rebuild.




Just kidding.
