Re: Fitting The Dovetail Neck Joint.

I hate the look of bodies with a flat area at the heel, and it's not any harder to fit the neck on a nicely rounded body. Sounds like you machined it well, though I'd like to see it be a bit more than 1/16" proud, but that should work. If it's not enough, you simply add shims. Floss it careful...
