as long as the distance between the press post and drill centre is at least about 140mm you should be fine. You will find out once it's marked up

+1 on the headstock
I made the exact same errors on my first few neck pockets. It's very easy to dip the router on that front edge.
I make my neck pocket templates like this, it extends fast the front edge so it's I'm possible for the router to dip and cut a low spot.
Headstock looks great Pabs. My first neck route was even more if a mess. That's the great thing about bolt ons. Going to be a killer axe!
cheers,
Gav.

Thanks Gav.
That's very clever, Dan. I will do that from now on I think. Didn't dip the router though, template plus large router base was very stable. Made an even more rookie mistake and failed to check the cutter depth after I had tightened the base. Must have bumped it when I was doing it up. Started to cut a little and realised it was too low. Doh.

nice template idea Dan.
Easy trap Pablo, best to check the depth every time you hit the GO button.
I've seen a blank ruined from the bearing not touching the template edge

Lookin' top notch Pabs.
Thanks Barge.
Bridge turned up today, so I got to start marking out for string throughs.
Accidentally took the screws home, so drilling tomorrow (after I measure three or four more times). Fingers crossed.
Made a decision on the jack too.
Side mount it is. Which means I had to drill between the two cavities.
