that wide

its not that wide, stripes divides neck to 3 equal parts, look at pocket fitting pics. 66mm at the nut, 86 at last fret. trussrod pics are made from raw unfitted neck.

Any reason on a neck that wide you are using a single truss rod instead of two?

Yes. The reason is called carbon fiber. Those 2 black stripes.

Thank you!

you mean you routed it by hand?

Yes, first one was routed by hands. I was used FreeCad for body curved top modelling, then moved to Fusion360 with some errors which locked me from projecting the sign to surface. Second guitar is modelled in Fusion360 from scratch.

did you use a number of templates or do you really mean 'by hand'?

I mean by hand. Glued a printed sign to surface, cut lines with a sharp knife and routed with a 0.6 mm router bit and mini Dremel.

After sanding down some elements did not reflect the light as expected, so I have replaced them. This is how it finally looks.

and this time i have just milled slots with cnc, mother of pearl was fitted by hands using jewellers saw and dental micro motor.

first one was done without cnc.

And the body signature inlay finished

And most exciting job - MOP inlay in progress
