Make one. I see Gibson acoustics every once in a while that have had replacement necks made and installed and I am known to make the odd replacement neck when the situation arises.

Whats it going to do to the Value of the Guitar not being original ? Making the Neck isn't an issue , its Keeping the Value I'm questioning

Value is already gone...... with a badly warped neck it is only a wall hanger, a piece of art. Make a faithful enough reproduction and most will never know. You can salvage the face plate from the headstock and reuse it.

Update , Looking down the neck from head stock , it does appear to have a slight twist . HOWEVER , when I did some checking with Parallel's its not twisted . The Bridge on the J35 is an angled bridge and the Saddle has been ground down on an angle as well " not factory " the whole thing creates an optical illusion .

Because someone messed with the bridge the action above 12th fret at 1st string is .040 and at 6th is . 058 and he wonders why it buzzes ... Also , whoever messed with it before loosened the truss rod nut to the point it was about to fall off ..... New Saddle ordered ... Reset to proper string height and a little truss rod action and it should be in excellent shape.

Btw , where he had it worked on before was a "Reputable " Guitar store ... Sad

Way to diagnose, Dr Wud! Guy's lucky he found you.

I think you should figure out how to warp the neck so you can practice fixing it. Or don't. You know...whatever.

Be honest with you when I realized what situation was I felt a Little embarrassed that I didn't catch it faster .
