Carve your own neck, I'd suggest. Then you are actually building your own guitar. Otherwise, you are just assembling. Pre-slotted f.board is a good idea.
Good luck. Have fun!

I've gone this route on my first two builds. It's been very satisfying and was my favoriate part of the build. If you have a Taylor, get a contour gauge and some masking tape (to protect the Taylor's neck) and copy the outline at the 1st and 10th frets. Serviced fretboards from LMI were a Godsend though. As for setting the action, that's all in the nut and saddle and is the very last step.
