    ES-5V neck angle and bridge height

    If you've completed a ES-5V, can you post photos of the neck angle and bridge height. I'm building one as a gift, and it had poor neck cavity routing and the angle seems off. My mock up seems to indicate that the bridge will have to be too high for the strings to clear the neck. Before I do anything drastic I'd love to see how others guitars ended up.
    Current:
    GTH-1

    Completed:
    AST-1FB
    First Act ME276 (resurrected curb-side find)
    ES-5V
    Scratchie lapsteel
    Custom ST-1 12 String
    JBA-4
    TL-1TB
    Scratch Lapsteel
    Meinl DIY Cajon
    Cigar Box lap steel

    Wishing:
    Baritone
    Open D/Standard Double 6 twin neck

    Ponch built one and lives on your side of the harbour? Haven't seen or heard from him for a while and maybe best to send a PM?
