Alex's IB-7

I would have thought by altering the angle of the neck horizontally at the joint the tiniest bit this would alter the string spacing, and you would aim for the spacing to be consistent both sides all the way down.

All good, the clamp is just holding the neck in place, no glue!

So are you saying just see if I can angle the neck fractionally so that (measurements for example) at the head end both strings might be 3mm away from the edge of the neck, and at the body end both strings might be 4.5mm away?

That’s what Andy is saying Alex, I’ve had this also with a couple of kits.

Like FrankenWashie says!
You will be surprised how little you need to move the neck in the socket to change the string routes. It won't be much!
