Bit of an update.
Managed to get the neck on, and the gap looking better.

Andy40 I did check the pickguard again after seeing your comment, I think I could have hidden the gap with the pick guard if I modified it slightly.
One thing I failed to check was the alignment of the neck plate before marking the holes in the neck. Looks like ill be stuck with a crooked neck plate, will remove the gasket as it overhangs.
I then noticed that one of the frets was cut short and there was some damage to the fret board near the 2nd fret!
Do you think ill need to replace the fret? It looks like some one else has already had a go as there appears to be some tear out.
hopefully will be able to tidy up the chip near the 2nd with some sand paper but its fairly deep.
Next job is to look at mounting the bridge and seeing if I need to route the pickup cavity at all.
