@darrenking Do you hold your neck in the desired location (with clamp or masking tape & super glue), attach your template gizmo to the body flush to the neck, then remove the neck leaving template exactly where you want it?

masking tape & super glue

arrrggghhh!!!!!!! Don't let Mark hear you say that! 🤣 🤣 🤣 

Please see 'No more Sloppy Neck Joints!' topic for further details of jig and possible method of use.

Great build @rockpile99

Been playing around with body ideas for the next build.

This one is really a variation on what I've done before but at least I'll know it will work.

This I like a lot more - sort of bastard lovechild of a Tele and Dan electro?

@rockpile99 Yeah, I like that shape too. I take it you will be using neck screw ferrules instead of a plate or a set neck. Should be a good build. Good luck. 👍

@rockpile99

that make a lovely thru neck...

@Boo Yes, it will be ferules (or maybe set neck if I do a neat enough job of the joint). Haven't used a plate on any guitar I've built yet. One of the joys of building my own has been no more 'palm stab' from blocky neck heels 🙂
