    I hope there are 12 more out there being worked on! I'm befuddled as to why there is not one completed model on the forum

    Have you mounted your neck yet? Mine seems to fit really well into the body, but it has a slight angle on the top and wondering if that is by design or if I have to seat it better with some more sanding.

    Back view...



    Bottom view...



    Is this something that maybe compensates with an angle for the higher bridge? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    The neck can always be shimmed later to adjust the angle. I wouldn't sand because it's not reversible

    Good advice, thanks. I’m just eyeing it now and it looks like shims would do the trick. I’m learning lots with this project!
