Would W build an Arrow headstock on a 24-3/4" conversion neck?

I could just call them, but I thought others might want to know. I can't figure why they limit the conversion necks to a few of their regular Pro headstocks. I'd really like an Arrow headstock on a conversion neck. If they will do it, I can't see why there would be a "custom" upcharge, since it is one of their regular shapes.
 
I wouldn't begin to know, but even with an upcharge, atleast they'll do it.  Like most of their stuff, the price upcharge is mostlikely demand related.  A CNC operator could cut Strat and Tele headstocks on conversion necks all day long, but the Arrow would/might require a different tooling, format, or clamp.  Who knows?  Call 'em up and let us know.
 
Thanks, when I'm closer to "pulling the trigger", I'll probably do that; but in the mean time, I was hoping one of the W imployees who frequent this forum would check for me.
 
My guess is they'll do it for a fee - they already sell an angled paddle, so it's just a question of a simple cutting job.
 
If the fee is the usual (from what I understand) $45, then I might as well go for a fully custom design. I was kind of trying for something similar to Randy Rhoads Sandoval "harpoon" headstock. And I do not think the arrow shape will fit on their paddle heads.
