That looks like a set-neck, which means that replacing the neck would be an extremely expensive option at best. You could end up easily paying a few hundred to have that work done, and thats only if the luthier used hide glue to set the joint. If they used any other type of glue, it could well be impossible.

edit: Yea I just checked its bolt on. The RL1 is the only one with the bolt on luckily. (I was hoping you'd see this thread lol) So what should the next step be in finding a neck?

Warmoth and a whole host of custom builders will make you a fender diemnsions neck with almost any specification you want. I would suggest contacting them, or for more a personal touch (And slightly higher quality) I would contact ET Guitars or Jaden Rose.
(Note the last two have some waiting lists right now) Any specs you want on the neck woodwise?

All those makers will make fender pocket neckat standard prices, no additional charge. they'll also make them from any woods you wants with any construction. If you're going mahogany, I would recommend getting a 5 piece neck made with the fillets made of a brighter wood like maple. It counteracts deadspots and will stop the mahogany making things all woolly and muddy. also makes the neck stronger.
If you really want to go overboard btw, you can buy some threaded inserts and use them to attach the neck. Its a bit of work, but it makes the join much stronger and thusly increases sustain etc. Stainless Steel guitar neck fixing kits

Where should I take the guitar now to check and see for sure if the body can for sure take a non customized fender neck?

As or the kit, thats just an example. Fact is, its a ripoff to buy from that dude as Mr Dave said. All you need to do is grab some matching stud inserts and bolts, then make a plate out of steel or something. Much cheaper.
