It's been a while since the last post. Holidays and all that. Well since then I have straightened the neck and waxed the fret board. I thought I'd introduce the neck to the body when!!! Houston we have a problem. It appears to be out of scale. See pictures below.
It's 313 to the twelfth fret but the long measurement to the bridge is over 630. Obviously I can't alter the heal as it will affect the neck pickup. So I'll have to change the bridge posts. The problem is I have already applied the finish and also the post plugs will show up as it's not a solid colour. Has anybody else had a similar problem or can offer a better solution.
Whilst on the subject of neck heel I seem to have a further problem. There seems to be surplus wood in the route above the bottom binding (photo 1 & 2) and in photo 3 shows a slight gap between body and neck. Would I be dicing with neck angle problems if I sanded that wood surplus in the neck route. HELP
