The saddles (that are in the bridge) I had all the way forward. It's a Tune-O-Matic style bridge
All good, if you are all forward then that should give you some reasonable adjustment at intonation.

For my contour I had a good idea of what I wanted.
I rounded the lower corner first then mounted the neck and traced that profile on to the neck heel.

Then I marked out the angle from top to bottom cutaway and free handed a curve between the two horns. The angle got roughed out with a small angle grinder and 80 grit flap disc. Refining was a combination of small Japanese rasps and a curved stewmac scraper. Once I was happy with that I used the rasps and round dowel sanding cauls to reshape the heel to suit.
