This guitar neckuses Carbon fiber as an exoskeleton with a lightweight wood core, such aswillow or basswood as a compression medium for the core. The finalouter face of the neck is a thin 1/32” veneer of hard wood. Therecan be as much as 200 pounds of pull on a guitar neck.

I've attached my design


Myquestion is do I have the design right? Where can it be improved?

Howwould oven curing affect the stability of this layup?

Myultimate goal is to build a light weight neck, that stable enoughthat a truss rod is unnecessary.
