Super Sonic size neck

I love the neck on my SS more than any other. Would re-shaping/re-sizing a guitar neck to the same dimensions as the SS neck be possible? Or would having a a luthier build an exact copy be the better way to go? Of course cost would be an issue too. I already have an old Warmoth strat neck that has never been mounted. My friend and I bought it new in 1987! If the re-shaping can be done well and end up feeling like the SS neck I would also like to have it done to my Squier Cyclone. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sanding/reshaping the profile and thickness of a neck it totally possible, but not exactly easy or a quick job. I am reshaping my Jazzmaster neck to be similar to my Jaguar neck. The biggest problem you will have is a SS neck is 24" scale and a strat neck is 25.5" scale. They won't feel the same in terms of fret spacing.
