Hi. @ Stewmac.com I've found this explanation in order to center the neck and the body before drilling the screw holes. The problem is that I don't understand what does it mean. May you explain it to me with other words? Thanx

"To double-check if the neck is centered on the body, take a long straightedge and place it along the edge of the neck. Be sure that a portion of the straightedge is over the body at the bridge's location. Compare the two sides of the neck, and where the straightedge hangs over the bridge (i.e. the straightedge may be even with the outside of the E-string saddles, the outer saddle height screws, the outer edges of the bridge plate, etc.). "

Measure the straightedge overhang with a ruler on both sides of the bridge on the E and G sides of the bridge location. It should be precisely equal.
