And back to the neck angle... Laying it out on the body, the 2° wedges will have the neck line 11mm off the top at the line where the bridge will go. (12 3/8" from the 12th fret) The strings will be 5 or 6 mm above that. The bridge I want to use is 12mm tall. I've been advised that I should really use a 3° wedge here. Otherwise, I'll have limited adjustability. So I shimmed my shims.



This is what I'll use to rout the neck pocket.


It is 14mm at the bridge line, which... If my viewing angle and shitty 48yr old eyes are right, is a 3.5° drop.
