Anyone ever change the C6 neck to use the E9 grips? Is it possible? Disadvantages?

Maybe something like this? I don't see any real advantages to it though...

The main advantage is to keep lazy people, me from having to relearn the grips. A small ting I know.

The deeper I get into the E9th neck, the more versatile/awkward, my "grips" become. You will find this to be true with C6. You will use a "few" basic grips, and then branch out from there. Eventually, you will use E9th and C6 grips, on both necks, depending on your choice of "voicings".
good luck,
and most of all
ENJOY !

I don't think of C6th in terms of grips anyway. Part of what's great about that neck are all the complex chords and stuff, and when you limit yourself to thinking in grips (like on E9th), you lose a lot of that. I just think in terms of what chord tones I'm playing, not the grips.

I changed the C6th knee levers to match E9th. It made it easier to play (for me) with my C# lever on LKL to match the F lever on E9th. Also, I lower my E9th E strings on RKL so that's where I have the C6th C to B lower.
By the way, the grips with E's lowered on E9th (the "B6th mode"), strings 4 through 8, are exactly the same as C6th strings 2 through 6.
You should train your hand to pick any combination of strings. Think in notes, and the grips will follow.

| This is the tuning that Terry Crisp turned me onto some twenty years ago and it works fine for me. On one pedal I have raises string 6 (E) to F & 7(D) to D#. I myself like the bottom F instead of the normal C cause you can do more with the F. |
