That neck is fine.
What you are seeing is what is called the neck break angle.
Simply put, the neck is set at an angle to the body. This actually makes the guitar more comfortable to play.
BTW, very nice finish!

There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Dingobass, thanks for the reply. I was worried about the distance above the neck pick-up. Once glued,very hard to unglue and try to rectify things. Not having bridge fitted or E string fitted, hard to measure. I know the Pick-ups and bridge are adjustable for height, but as I see it at the moment, the strings will be touching the binding on the end of neck. Have to put on the thinking cap, maybe install bridge etc. before I glue neck. Re; the finish, still not 100% happy, but first build so am learning to apply stains and final finishes. have learnt that sanding to 1500 closes pores of timber and wont accept stain; on a solid body this might not be a problem, but on semi hollow body could be easy to sand through veneer.Originally Posted by dingobass

By the way, generally how far above the Pick-ups are the strings?
