MM Stingray graphite necks - a feeler

[Kiwi]

There's been some interest expressed in MM Stingray necks so I thought I would just provide a single location where questions can be asked rather than trying to stay on top of multiple threads. 

I have preEB neck and SR5 Classic necks that could potentially be used for molds.  One thing I've noticed is that the SR5 neck is pretty chunky, even compared to my Spector.  I could look at a narrower nut and slightly slimmer depth, more like the Steinberger necks already made.  Any thoughts or reactions to this idea?

Personally I would also go for an ebony fingerboard just because I know it's pretty neutral tonally but I'm also curious about padauk because the tap tone is pretty amazing.  Some kind of rosewood/pau ferro variant might soften fret noise a little further than ebony (assuming there are no issues with CITES).

I would be interested if headstock matches wooden stingray necks a la Status

Probably too much of an ask, and not a deal breaker, but any chance of a slimmer nut width on the 4 ray? 40mm-38mm? Appreciate I maybe in a minority and it may not be feasible though.

Yes, a 38mm nut is possible...(I thought the stingray was already around 40mm?)  The construction process involves carving a wooden form first and that can be adjusted in CAD/CAM software before milling begins.  But for batch every order slot has to have the same specification because the batch is based per mold and the main way I keep the price down is using a MoQ.  Otherwise it's a custom order with a custom mold.
