What would life be if there were nil disappointments...

Did a mock build... put the neck in place, located the pick guard, place the bridge... got some 0.5mm copper wire to be pretend strings to get a pair of visual lines to check general line up and centring....

Hmmmm.... the cut line of the Maple doesn't line up with the neck centre line, nor does it go through the middle of the bridge PU route... Buggar!!.., and the flame on the Maple looks so good...Double Buggar !!!...

Yep, DB had routed the bridge PU hole in the right spot, but the Maple break line is angled and is almost 1cm below the neck line at the the bridge PU..... Buggar.!!!..

Gunna have to get seriously creative with the stain work to cover that....
