Replacement neck for Les Paul

Hello! After the headstock has broken 3 times, it's time for a new bolt-on neck for my late 70's El Degas Les Paul copy. Any thoughts on where I could get such a neck?
Thanks!

I think your best bet might be to find another El Degas and pilfer the neck from it.

The more salient question is...why has the neck been broken not once but three times?!
A neck does not break on its own, it has to have suffered from an impact shock.
Yes, the Les Paul head stock design is prone to breakage if mishandled, so I seriously suggest that you examine what you are doing to cause it to break.
With respect, I would be more concerned about correcting that behaviour before looking to replace the neck, because it will likely happen again.
