Love their design and look and the super thinness.

Not much detail at all on their site or elsewhere regarding build specifics, but it appears they are all CF--except for what we would normally think are the most critical areas where CF excels.

The most fragile part of the guitar and most susceptible to moisture changes, the soundboard, is wood. So is the fretboard, though the neck appears all CF.

The thinking is reversed for what most composite fans would think CF is valuable for. So it would be nice to hear from them and understand what prompted them build just the body and neck with CF since they make the same guitars totally of wood anyway.

What advantage or purpose did they envision building this combination of wood and CF? Some guesses:

Maybe overall stability yet with the least change to the sound properties from their other line of guitars. Consistency in sound quality a priority?

Or, they just like the aesthetics of CF and possibly the decreased weight. Super thin seems to be one of their main feature attractions for their guitars. Weight reduction might be in line with their thinking. Maybe this was part of the driving factor.

Maybe someone who owns one or knows the builders can chime in with some insight to their philosophy.
==================================
UPDATE:
Did some more digging around on their Facebook and found a video showing they make both guitars and ukes with CF tops, although I didn't see CF fretboards. So similar to Brunner builds.

Added. Thanks.
