Yep, pretty sure (would be completely sure if it wasn't quite so likely you're going to sprint up there with your hard-earned cash tomorrow morning) that they're regular electric necks that you can drop into another body. That said, my friend has a Malibu, and it's about the worst acoustic I've ever played. Ridiculously keen price though.

The fretboards are cut for the soundhole. If you can muster the courage to destroy a vintage instrument, I suppose you could file it down to an electric shape and slap it on a fucking Jagmaster or something.

I want to say someone on the boards did use a villager neck for an electric xii project once....sublimedo maybe?

I had a Fender Sonoran, it had an almost electric shaped neck but with a big extended heel like a normal acoustic. It felt like a cheap electric neck so I wouldn't recommend pulling the neck off and trying to attach it to something else.
