Ok, two things going on.
1. The archtop bridge is destined to fail. It's just a bridge to far for my skill, as to get it to work the neck need to be re-angled steeper, I've put that one in the too hard basket
The option for me is to some how come up with a thinner bridge base, so I have ordered one.
But if the bridge post do not line up then I am still screwed.
At the moment I have a temp base made by Staedler, I think the model is a 2B.
2. The neck issue seems to have been that it was getting skewed because of that little undercut in the neck slot.
It lines up now just a little bit north of the side join. the alignment over the pickups is also much better.

My options if I can't sort the archtop bridge is to re-drill the bridge post hole. It's not my favored pathway, but at least it is a proven outcome.

Cheers PK

It's probably appropriate to introduce this delightful guitar with beautiful blues song.

It has a been a long time coming, and a change had to come.
It was going to be Virginal white, but with the warmth of the wood in the body it had to be left open to view.
What has developed has been progression into a the old worldly back street New York style blues.
I had to make a concession on the floating bridge as the string spacing were way to narrow to suit this neck.
I only have to put the pick guard on her and do the intonation. (still trying to find where I put the A string, I'd hate to break up a new set for one string)
