How would you discribe the neck shape ?

Similar to my R9!

Any specific information on weight, fretboard wood, pickups, split option?

I will try to get some means of weighing it! In any event, it is lighter than my R9. 

Fretboard is a beautiful piece of dark rosewood. I have no idea if it is Brazilian, but I have not placed a premium on the price accordingly.

Pickups are Haussel, as standard with nearly all Hubers - they really are fantastic and sound wonderful.

They are splittable via push/push pots on the tone controls.

Just by way of information, the email from Huber states the following:

"The Huber was built in 2006 and is the 442nd guitar we ever built. it features a korina body and neck, rosewood fretboard, Haussel pickups, abalone dot inlays and a flamed maple top."

Further to this a member has forwarded me a guide to identifying Brazilian vs Indian rosewood. From reviewing this alongside the fretboard, it does indeed appear that the fretboard is likely Brazilian rosewood:

The price will stay the same, however.

Hi

do you still have the COA for this as that will confirm if it’s Brazilian or not .

i have an orca 59 and the certificate confirms it’s a Brazilian board.

beautiful guitars and GLWYS.

Thanks. No COA with this one, as it was made just before they started issuing them (i.e. at the end of 2006).

Hi, I have a Custom Santa Cruz H13 Adirondack/Mahogany with some upgrades and I'm looking to go electric. Might you be interested in a trade?
