If you could find aluminum stock in a trapezoidal shape, you could keep the trapezoidal neck ~ better comfort for the player. With a dual truss rod design it may also help to keep the neck right where you want it with a low B and keep the torsional effects to a minimum with an offset truss rod in the neck. A middle tang in the extrusion would also increase the rigidity of the truss rod assembly as well.
