The next thing I worked on was setting the neck angle. Below, I am using my clear plexiglass rule to see whether my neck is in line with the centerline of the box. To the right, I am using a simple MDF stick to see whether my neck is at the proper angle. With the stick lying flat on the neck (no fingerboard yet), I want to see the end of the stick (at the saddle position) just slightly (1/64" to 1/16") above the top. I used my belt sander in the vertical position, and the belt sander table, to sand the end of the heel to the proper angle.
