Hello from Boston area.

Received my kit today and had a 2 questions.

Perhaps I requested a few too many changes to the JTL-1. I was going for my trifecta. Jag body, tele hardware, and SG tone (24 3/4, mahogany body, ebony fingerboard). The factory made mostly what I wanted except with a strat trem rout instead of the tele bridge. I still thought it was cool, and took it.

Here is the initial mock up: https://i.imgur.com/1LRoRQL.jpg

I think it is really cool. However, My 24 3/4 request may have complicated things too much.

The neck looks great, but it seems to have a different heel cut than the body.

Question 1: Can I round the square neck heel to fit the rounded pocket?

Question 2: The nut to the 12th fret is correct at 12 and 3/8 inches. However the 12th fret to the saddle is much larger at about 13 inches. https://i.imgur.com/GDDtLSi.jpg. It appears that the center of the stud holes match up (12 and 3/8 inches) to the neck. Any suggestions?


Thanks
