Looking good! You sure did get a nice finish on this one David! Nice and flat and shiny! I can't wait to see it finished!

Mounted the neck to the body this morning. I got the neck centered in relation to the body however the bridge is not perfectly centered, not sure what happened but I'm quite sure it is a result of operator error. What will be the reprocussions of this screw-up?

That would be a YES Ken!

put on the e strings and see where they fall on the edges of the fretboard. That is your best guide now.

The low E strings proximity to the edge of the fretboard might cause playability issues.

Is the neck glued on?

If not, you can still make some adjustments. At this point the necks relationship to the bridge is more important than it's relationship to the center of the body.

you did bridge to the center line of the neck and not the body right ?

[David L]

Yes John, as you can see I used Ken's bridge locating tool but one of two things happened, either I didn't get the bridge centered in the tool from the get go or it somehow moved when I was drilling the locating holes, my mistake either way! Now do I need to try to fix it and maybe mess something up worse or is it not so bad that I could just leave it as it is?
