Warmoth has 24" scale necks, but I haven't tried them. I'm thinking about snagging one for a Jag project.

ive looked at warmoth, and played warmoth necks, there good necks but they wont make a 24'' with a 7.25 radius...9.5'' just doesnt feel right in my hand but if your ok with a 9'' or above warmoth is def. the place to go...i guess ill keep searching ebay and craigslist
thanks

Try a Japanese (or US) Jag neck, I see them on eBay a lot.
e.g. this one.

That place is way too expensive.

They usually charge for a body or neck what the whole guitar costs.

ha ha, nothing personal matthew.

i fucking hate stratosphere. the guy is a total douche, i made the mistake of mentioning he might sell more stuff if he lowered his prices a bit.

he sent me a reply that said "fuck off," and banned me from bidding on his stuff. 4 EVAR.

In that case I would call your reaction totally reasonable.

I do have another possible solution to the original request - the original Jagmaster necks (be sure it's the first series which were the 24" non-conversion necks). I think all those MIJ necks APART from the Jag HH model are 7.25 radius.

necks you have a chance finding for not an absurd amount of coinage or searching:

allparts jaguar
warmoth (too rich for my blood)
vintage mustang

necks you have a st.-jimmy-shtick-chance-on-shortscale to find:

squier vista jagmaster
vintage bronco
vintage jaguar
jagstang

good luck.

yea ive been scouring the web for all 24'' necks i figured i'd narrow it down from there but it just seems like none wants to sell a 24'' neck especially with a 7.24 radiusill just have to keep trying my luck on ebay. but if your not as picky as me (radius wise) ive found a ton of sites that sell replacement necks and most of them are a resonable price

The second auction I posted claims that the Allparts 24" neck is 7.25 radius.

They'll sell 'em to you all day for $175 - see here - but if you can find a dealer with an Allparts account willing to discount, you can do better.

If you want good deals from the STRATosphere guy, look for his auctions, not his BINs. I've seen his necks and bodies finish auction at $150 or so on many occasions.
