Decided to bite the bullet this week, and set the neck.
Some careful sanding on MOnday night, with 360 and a straight block on both sides of the pocket. sand a bit one side. test. sand a bit the other side. test ... etc... eventually we got there ! Neck seats in pocket with a firm press required.
scale lengths seem to check out pretty well. (not sure just how accurate these need to be).
High and low E seem well centered over the neck.
Glued and clamped the neck in place last night. (Might have accidentally added 0.5mm or so to the length... Time will tell).
HOW long should I keep the clamps on ? and how long should it take for the joint to cure to full strength ?
(I used the glue I ordered with the kit, from PitBull).
I'm going to try and post a few photo's today... havn't had much luck with that so far... (I think my images are too big)
