Thanks all you has just confirmed that I was worrying over nothing.

In the last 10 minutes I came to the conclusion that my supposed problem had something to do with the fact that I have a bolt on neck and most of the others on the site are glue on. Then I found you responses.

I had been studying Dedman's build diary as I saw he had a bolt on but none of the photos showed the fretboard sitting up. Thanks for the latest photo Dedman.

What I think the bolt-on is, is a cross between a Gibson archtop and the LP. I was just beginning to confirm that on the Gibson web site. A Gibson ES175 looks similar at the neck connection. Including the connecting slot.

Anyway no excuses now I must get on with it, after I get rid of the grandchild at the end of the week. I am sure I will be in touch

Andy 40, I hope you don't mind but I think I will be going Karijini Red, yours looks so great. I hope it will brighten up my playing. Can you tell me if you highlighted the grain in yours. I don't think the quilted grain lends itself to highlighting as much.
