There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Gav - no worries - I'm a visual kinda bloke, so it's as much about me understanding what's going on... Hence why it took a while to get it all correct.
DB - looking great! Though a little birdie told me the odd tipple along with the ghoolie scratch doesn't hurt at all with guitar building...
Lawry - this thing's gonna be lucky to have frets - I think there's limited chance that DB would be wanting to make them more pronounced..

DB, looking sweet mate. The photo of the wing pieces of wood looks like there's a gap between the top wing and the neck ? I'm sure you would have sorted out the gap and planed one of the pieces parallel.
Glad you are going with the MOP bridge/saddles. I might program a visit to check it out and the new fret jig !

The 'gap' is actually a slightly higher profile caused by the break angle of the neck, planed it flat now

You will have to hide this axe from me when its finished. I can see this in my collection ! haha

Is it just me or is there something IceManesque about this guitar?
DB - you OK - I'm sensing something subliminal coming through here...
