Hehehe!

I too imagine it would be one seriously BIG book. Probably take me several light years to finish reading it!

BTW: Rutlands Precision Drill Guide looks nice... might have to me one of those.

You dig?

The first one I pictured is the Dakota Precision Drill Guide. It is pretty pricy from Rutlands, at £49 - though much cheaper than a drill press big enough to do guitar bridges, of course.

The second one is a Japanese made model, also available from Rutlands. It looks really good - and it costs £130! Great Scott, that's pushing it a bit!

I didn't win the £148m / $232m Euromillions jackpot this week, so I might not be buying that one...

Thanks Ceri. That's how I planned to align the neck/bridge to begin with: I lined the outside of the neck up with the bridge. The top of frets had me a little worried because they were higher than the average height of the saddles. My neck is 1" thick (to fretboard crown) and neck pocket is 5/8" deep so I suppose I'll reach the correct action with this setup since the vertical body/neck dimensions check out OK. I'll post photos when I finish.

This Mighty Mite compound radius neck is very high quality with nice fast finish and fantastic fret job. I like it as much (if not more) than my HWY One (minus the cumbersome jumbo frets).

This is slightly blemished (cracked then epoxied) black walnut body I got for a great deal.
