Did a little mock build on the weekend with the spare time that I had to see whats what.
Here's a few pics that show the angle of the neck which I now see as being quite normal:
There is a slight gap at the back where the neck meets the body. Not sure what I'm going to do about this yet. Maybe I will have to see what its like once its actually glued in. Filler of some sort?
Everything seems to be in order though:

I have ordered an imitation Bigsby not unlike this one for about $30 delivered from China.
Though just now I have seen this one and and contemplating dropping $70 on it. I couldn't justify the expense of a real one but now I'd be at $100 worth of imitation Bigsby's.. I must contemplate this further.
I have also been thinking about pickups but admittedly I am a total novice when it comes to the electronics of a guitar. If I get something like this for example.. will it a) sound much better/different from the standard Pitbull ones for a bedroom/garage guitarist and b) require different pots, etc? If anyone can suggest some reading for a newbie on this kind of stuff that would be great too.
