Would you consider building an electric guitar, just for the experience?

Neck angle looks spot on – looks like there will be about 9mm space for the bridge once the frets are in – perfect. We can all stop worrying 🙂

David Dyke is my number one supplier now for anything I can’t get from Bailey or wood where I want to do the jointing myself.

Acoustic building is a big learning experience but I’m sure you will get there. For kerf lining in the UK I would try David Dyke luthier suppliers. Very friendly firm to deal with.
