Pretty chuffed with the shim I made.

Took a bit of stuffing about, but got there in the end.
Glued the shim in first.

Then glued in the neck.

Now, we wait and hope I haven't overlooked anything. Fingers crossed. Tomorrow...
Looking good mate. Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow!
Winning!
You have great patience Grasshopper!
looks good Pablo,
with any luck the action at 20th fret will be sweet.
Can you see any gaps from the bottom front where the shim is ?
Cheers guys, I'll keep you updated when I get home and nervously attempt to string it up.
@Wokka, there's a gap of less than half a mm on the backside of the neck join. I could only get the narrow end of the shim down to 0.35mm. Hopefully it's good enough.
NO worries Pablo, sure you won't even notice a tiny gap in the neck pocket join
Strings are on. Everything lines up and it feels very solid. Still got a few things to do to get it playing properly, but so far it's looking good.
Phew!
good stuff Pablo that must be a relief.
So sound demo by end of the week ?
We'll see. Still waiting for my bloody pickguard blank, so it won't be 100% finished until that shows.
