It's good that you feel well enough to get back in the shop!
That notched straightedge makes much more sense to me than the neck jig.
some nice work there,as ever.its good to see you back in the saddle.has that one got a mahogany neck?
It's a maple neck. It had a slight twist at the 1-2 frets, so I took off the old fretboard, added some shims to level it and installed a new board with some upgrades. I also added an ebony faceplate on the headstock with inlqays instead of the cheesy worn decal Gibson had put on originally.
my rivoli has the same issue....I'd love to send it to you when you have the time for an outside project
