A quick word about materials.  I work in both solid wood and laminated wood.  For laminated applications, I hand lay up individual veneers to create top and back plates. I use solid wood for acoustic guitars and for my semi-hollowbodies.  Using solid wood for semi-hollowbodies is an important part of how I get so much resonance out of a design that inherently doesn't want to resonate.  I see full hollow archtops as just the opposite.  Solid wood in this application often resonates too much for the player working at moderate stage volumes.  So my archtops use laminated materials to help control resonances.

Depending on the neck size, material and design, carbon fiber

reinforcement is sometimes added to insure the neck completely

stable.  I feel that, when a neck is stiffer, it resonates and interacts

less with the fretted note and in turn increases note to note

consistency - fewer hot and dead spots along the neck.
