replacement neck - 5string ibanez

hi all!

i have an aging ibanez 5 string back home with a nightmarishly warped neck (to the point that the fretboard detached from the neck - don't ask how did i let this happen)
should i just get a luthier to have him make another neck or can i get a replacement somewhere?

hope you can help
 
I was once looking for a replacement neck for an Ibanez and was told that getting them can be tricky. I gave up, but I would see what aftermarket companies have necks that will fit. IF you must have the real deal I'd look through the usual online channels or have an Ibanez dealer see about ordering you one. Probably a pricey route though.
