Options for 7 string necks

All the above.

Plus making a 7 string neck shouldn't be that difficult compared to a 6 string one. It's just a bit wider. Haven't made one by myself, there's too much for me to learn playing a 6 stringed guitar. But there's fellow builders with a similar skillset to mine who've successfully built beautiful 7-stringers.

On the positive side the middle string follows the centerline which in my thinking should make things even easier. Some extra attention to stiffness may be required because of the extra string pull but laminated necks and/or carbon fibre rods are common in any necks nowadays.
