Update time. I've been making some progress and I am extremely happy with the result. As you might be able to see, the guitar looks like it's very raw because of the wild grain. But the tru oil has actually been applied very evenly, i.e. it's like looking at the wild grain through super clean...

Thanks Aaron!!! At one point, I actually thought Spike hated me lol

Rick, I am so sorry. I somehow missed this message :-/ Yes, that would be amazing (especially the Air Classic neck is such a good pickup). Any idea how we could get those to Germany (where the guitar is being built)?

I recently ordered a neck and a Flying V body (V-K). The body arrived with a small dent on the wing. After writing Warmoth, they immediately put in production a new body which they will send in 2-3 weeks.
So far so amazing re Warmoth customer service...
