jason,

it can be worked just like any other fiberglass construction.

use a little die grinder to get the shape you want. It is not a hard material, just very stiff.

I know there may be other sites with more pertinent info. but HERE is where I discovered the power of CF. Do a search and you'll find many applications.

when i build teh neck its gonna be a 5 peice neck and im either gonna put a trussrod in and 2 CF stifferners or just route out the neck and put in 3 carbon rods...not sure yet
