Update

The issue with the neck transition turns out is not a problem. Jack looked at it told me it should be fine. The dims. I mentioned where for a 59 Les Paul and those necks are much thicker than the necks you now see on electric guitars. I was soooo glad to hear that. I have been doing some fine tuning of the neck carve. Jack pointed out a couple places that needed a little more work. I think I am almost there.
I have also decided to put an Inlay in the head stock so I am trying to decide if I should do that before gluing the neck on or go ahead and glue the neck on and then do the inlay.  I am waiting on a jewelers saw and a 1/16" router bit. I have decided to name the guitar after my wife Hope. So I am going to put an H at the top of the head stock. I am also waiting on some water slide decals that look like the Hope custom# (in silver), that will go on the head stock in between the turn keys.
