Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :)		Excellent! Thanks. I’ve always wanted a 2087GT or equivalent, but couldn’t afford one when when they came up for sale. So I’m considering trying to get my 1581-8 modified to transform it into one.

You can swap necks to the Adamas I but the body will still be from a 1581 so I don't know how this will benefit you,The Adamas 2087GT had a hand laid contour bowl I believe so any tone difference between a 1581 and 2087 would have more to do with the body than the neck IMHO.

Now if you have an Adamas I neck laying around and you prefer the Broccoli headstock go for it

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :)		In my original question I got things backward. I’m wanting to make my 1581 Adamas II a 1581 Adamas I. ‘looks like the most difficult thing would be switching the bridge/saddles, due to the size differences and the glue.
