OK, So I now have a box. Will post pictures later.

Help me Understand neck angle a little better.

So I put the neck to the body and lay the fret board onto the neck and body. Everything works out perfectly flat on the fret board laying on the neck and body. When laying a straight edge on the fret board, If I measure approx. where the back of the bridge will be located I have a 1/4" gap with no frets in the fret board.

I know earlier that several of you all said that I should shoot for having 1/2" at that location.

We have two other acoustics ( neither one expensive by any means) in the house and I measured both of those , again laying a straight edge down the fret board up to the bridge location and both of those have 5/16" height at the bridge between the guitar top and the bottom of the straight edge. The actual string height for both is right at 1/2" though.

Not disagreeing at all, because I don't have any knowledge of how this is all supposed to work out, but I don't understand why this guitar should be different from the other 2 acoustics that we have.

Once again any advice is much appreciated.
