The sort of artisan you want is called a Luthier. Many guitar shops have the experience and knowledge to get the job done for you. There are ready made suppliers for guitar necks as well. Warmoth comes to mind as one. (I had a Warmoth neck on a custom bass body once, it was a really nice fast neck). If you are looking for something 100% custom, there are likely guys or gals here that can help you out, but be prepared. Custom luthier work does NOT come cheap...
