Jon's 3rd build: DTL-1

[Fretworn]

Most important thing is the string alignment between nut and bridge.

Is the neck finished yet? If it isn’t finished you may find that once it is finished it will be too tight, so you may need to tidy up the bass side of the pocket. The neck slightly overhanging the body on the treble side shouldn’t affect playability, it is just a minor aesthetic issue.

Thanks Fretty - the neck isn't finished, and it is a tight fit, so I suspect I will need to sand the pocket a little. I have also glued a veneer shim into the pocket just to straighten out the edge a little.
