That's one pretty nice looking guitar. Only carbon fiber in the neck, no rod? If so, what dimensions CF, and if you've done this previously, how have those instrument's necks held up?

Thanks,
No,It has a 2 way truss rod Bob. I usually make a five piece neck but this customer wanted a one piece mahogany neck.

Yes, indeed! That thing is nice all over. The pickguard fits well in the scheme. Warm, golden colors throughout. Good one!
