Would this replacement neck be prone to twist?

Methinks you are spending way too much time worrying about this. Put the darn thing on, string it up, and play it.

You can determine twist in a neck far before it installed, and before the fretboard is installed. I use winding sticks to check for twist. Once the neck is under tension it is really too late to take any meaningful corrective action. Discovering that your neck is twisted after putting it under tension is a worst case scenario.

Good luck getting reliable results with winding sticks on a radiused surface. Yeah, I guess you could use the heel and the back of the headstock, but that won't really tell you much.

Yeah, I wasn't really referring to the finished neck, obviously.

I prefer the look of laminated necks and have the same sort of belief in imptoved stability I do in other forms of voodoo. However, I also have a $100 guitar with no truss rod in the neck that I've had for 20 years, and the neck has never shifted once.
