I was curious if anyone knew if there would be any negative repercussions from re-shaping a blocky schecter omen 8 neck joint down to be similar to that of the joint of a more ergonomic Ibanez S profile. Also what would be the best way to go about this?

Are we talking neck mods, body mods, or both? I'm not completely familiar with either of those instruments. You can probably use a file and/ or sandpaper - provided you don't get carried away. PICS?

I'm Just talking about Body Mods, the body style of the guitar is a super strat shape and is a bolt on. But because of the normal super strat style neck bolt that's a bit wider due to the neck size of the 8 string. So theres basically a massive squared block stopping me from comfortably playing the higher frets. And I was thinking I could chop half the block off and round it out to be more ergonomic. (and sorry i can't really post pictures due to the fact that for some reason my phones photos are too large of a file size)
