Thanks for the awesome info so far.
So - The mockup that I've done (Pics below).
One question that I have regarding some of the suggestions to clamp the neck and run strings - Im assuming I should be right to punch the bridge / saddle pegs into the guitar before I start staining, or really even sanding? I understand that I won't be putting tuning tension on the strings or the neck, but in order to have the string run at least "straight" I'd assume I'd have some basic tension on the string, and to gauge the height of the bridge correctly would involve me putting the pegs into the guitar - is that a fair statement?
If that's the case, I'll get right into running the 1 and 6 strings and getting some alignment measurements. Honestly, Im pretty sure I should be good to go with this.
Here's some happy Mockup snaps (including slightly higher res shots of what I thougt was a slightly crazy neck angle - opinions pls):
