I want this guitar but with a maple fret board. I am not a woodworker and am not handy. Wondering if anyone has ever swapped out the neck on one of these to maple. Anyone have any idea it "should" cost?

In principle, all Fender/Squier necks are interchangeable - that was one key feature in Leo's original designs.
Of course, that applies to "similar" type necks only; 4bolt types fit between themselves, 3bolts to oneanother, contoureds etc. (And some Modern Players only fit themselves...)

In this case, it would be easiest to get a Classic Vibe Telecaster 50's neck and do the switch. It's from the same model series, so you could expect less fitting issues.
But: necks and bodies are individuals, some minor adjusting may be needed. So, if you have absolutely no woodworking experience, are all thumbs, and are not used to setting up guitars, let a pro (or a good friend with more experience) do the job.

Ebay seems to sell CV50's necks for about 120€/$. A pro would probably charge his/her/its regular setup price (usually below 100€/$), plus max one hour for extra work.

Adding to that the price of the CV Custom, you'd be close to MIJ Custom Tele price level, so consider the options.
