Vicky's neck will be made of 9 laminations. Five will be wood and four will be 11 oz carbon fiber. The carbon fiber adds a significant amount of stiffness and when combined with the cooked stabilized Maple this neck will be very reliable. Humidity changes will have little effect on the neck's trueness.
The carbon fiber runs the entire length of the neck and will add a lot of strength in the transition area to the peghead where the wood grain is short.
I will also lay in a two way adjustable truss rod to help dial in the perfect amount of relief. The heel will be made mostly of Bass wood to save weight.
The middle piece of Maple is tapered to follow the shape of the neck and adds an attractive refined look.
The fretboard is an Ebony 25" scale with a 12" radius.
