Obviously, it could be done, but it would be very expensive. I think it would be more cost effective to sell the guitar and find one with the neck you prefer.

Ask around, find a lutheir not a guitar tech, pretty much any luthier can make you a replacement neck.
Expect a price range of 500-900 for a custom made neck supplied and fitted Steve

thanks.
about 7 years ago I sent a Huss and dalton tdr to them and they built a custom neck to my specifications.. replaced it. yes I paid a little.. around $1000 for the neck but it was precisely to the dimension I knew I liked so it was worth it. I know bourgeois used to do this type of custom work pre-pandemic but now and in the foreseeable future warranty repair only. I might see if elderly does something like that. |

It may be worth contacting Bourgeois to see if they can refer you to someone. Maybe there is someone associated with their shop that they could get a Bourgeois CNC'd neck blank to, in an attempt to keep it original, if that is important to you. What part of the country are you in?

i decided to part ways with this slope d.
i could not warm up to the neck profile no matter how hard i wanted to. 0.819” at fret 1. the possibility of swapping out necks looked like an impossibility since bourgeois said they do warranty repair only now. |

Well, on the up side, this gives you an excuse to hang out at Elderly and get yourself a new (or used) guitar. They sure do have a nice inventory.
