Yesterday I cut a few more holes in your body. I don't suppose you felt a thing. In one picture you can see the deliberate mistake. I had to do this because only God can make a perfect thing. It won't be there after today. I also did some fine adjustments to the trem rout as I intended to keep the trem close to the body.
All the holes are now made, cutaway cutaway, 12mm radius made and I have to do the final hand sand on the body (which looks and feels good) so today I should be able to glue the neck in.
Checking the angle of the neck:I checked that all the angles were correct and that the trem would fit low in the body, made the wedges that fit under the overhanging fingerboard end, masked off the body, slapped in some glue and clamped the two parts together. Too late to go back now!
Thanks guys.
Chris is a wonderful person.

16"Mr E, what neck radius are you going for on this build ?
That"s exactly how he does it.Perhaps he had cut a thinner piece off before forming the body and it's made from that
