Just bought A Cutlass with a maple board and I own a Silhouette with a rosewood board and I'd like to swap the necks.
Is it doable?

I doubt it, and then the logos on the head stock wouldn't match the guitar. Also if it's a Silhouette and not a Silhouette special, then it has 24 frets, so it definitely won't work.

Thanks T-Bone. They both have 22 frets and I'm a player so the logo issue would be a nonissue. I am asking because I'm basically lazy and was hoping that some who may have either done this or attempted it would respond before I start taking measurements. I just really don't care for the Maple board and would love to have the rosewood board on my new (to me) Cutless. And as you know EBMM won't seel me another neck. I appreciate your reply. Thanks!

If the neck pocket and the bolt holes don't match exactly I would call that a clue for not proceeding forward without a trusted luthiers advice.
