My Javelin, dB5, is home... Specs: Roasted Ash body with copper grain filler. Roasted Maple neck and fretboard with Darren's NEXUS neck carve. Big Ol' stainless frets with hidden tangs and semi-hemi ends. Oni H/S pickups. Here you can see the unique neck carve, it...
Flame figuring is caused by different densities of wood, but I think neck stability is more a function of quality of materials and ability of the maker. EBMM do pay attention and care to details IMHO, so you probably have nothing to worry about. :2c: Also, I have a flamed maple necked Thorn...
:agreed: For example - reversing the angle of the bridge pickup on a strat is a reasonably common thing - an attempt to get a more Hendrix like tone. It's not a huge difference, but it is noticeable IMHO.
Moving a bridge pickup .5" towards the neck will most certainly change a guitar's tone... it might not be all that noticeable if you use so much gain that the guitar turns into an essentially percussive instrument, but it is something I notice :2c:

Regarding the status of my guitar: I haven't heard a peep from Vik in about 9 or 10 months and am still waiting. Were rapidly coming up on the second anniversary of me sending him full payment. Hopefully the piezo issue is fixed soon.
A little over a year ago Ron Thorn bought a large stash of koa suitable for making 8 fully hollow versions of his DeLuxe'90 model. He made a post on his forum indicating 8 spots were available and posted pics of the glorious koa. I noticed the post a few hours later and sent an email...
