They have never made a reverse headstock 7 before and mine was going to be the first one. Lots of stuff was going on at Anderson (busy as hell plus a company move) and Tom never wrote the program for the CNC which apparently is a major undertaking. I opted to wait it out but then was told a few moths later that Tom had too much on his plate and that it was going to be until late this year when he could devote the time to writing the program.
Wow, very beautiful.
Sorry you didn't get your reverse. Not a big deal to mirror image a path. This is pure conjecture, but I'm guessing they don't create their own tool paths but have an outside company do it, probably whoever sold them the CNC router or mill, whatever they use.
Another possibility is that TA does not make their own necks but subs them out to another company like Warmoth or USA Custom Guitars. Many smaller builders do this.
Not at all trying to say anything negative about TA, just trying to look for a logical reason why they would accept an order for a reverse but not be able to produce it.
Regardless, it looks fantastic! Great to see a fixed bridge that is not a TOM, as well.

That said, again, not at all a knock against TAG, just speculating on why the reverse might be unobtainable.
If Tom is the only guy in the shop that can do it, but can't take the time to write it and run it, that's understandable.
