Update time - Four of the batch 1 necks should be finished next week with the other one available next week.  Thanks again for your patience.

@Rich77 @Phaedrus01 and @HeadlessBassist  yours were delivered about half an hour ago.  They're looking much better, the weave really pops.   I'll send you each some photos tomorrow.

I love that you've got this up and running.

 

When might you start taking orders for reinforced CF bodies?  A headless neck through perhaps?  I have some jazz style parts waiting for a home but I'd like not to have to adhere to the "traditional" shape.

It's going to be a while unfortunately. There is a big jump from necks to a full instrument, and a much broader, more complex set of customer expectations apply.   The brand doesnt have the resources to deal with the extra commitment right now.  But I would love to offer something like that in the future, if there was demand.

Update time: 

The two remaining Batch 1 necks (#4 and #5) are currently being painted and I expect them to be shipped later this week. 

The necks for Batch 2 have also been made and are currently being wrapped in an outer layer of cosmetic weave.  This marks a change in our approach - we've found that the wrapping technique reduces wrinkles, creases, undulations and warpage by quite a bit.  And the weave really pops when not covered by so much resin. So, a risk of sounding a bit corporate, we're constantly learning and adjusting to keep quality at the highest possible levels (for us).  Hopefully I will be able to post a vid of batch 2 later.
