I'm a little late to this party, but I've read through and caught up. It looks as though you've learned a lot, and done a nice job. As to the subject in this post, you are right...a little makes a big difference. If you consider the heal to body joint to be a fulcrum (like the center of a teeter-totter) then you can see where a little movement closer to the fulcrum (such as the area underneath the fretboard extension) can translate into a much bigger difference the further out that you move (the bridge/saddle). I'm glad for you that you've figured it out on this guitar. Great job.

I got everything sprayed today. I used a natural satin finish, thought it suited the look of the guitar. I used Axalta Zenith Pre-cat Lacquer. The only problem I had was that on part of the neck the finish dried with a milky look to it. Being that this is a water based finish I'm hoping it will go away on its on.

If there's a lot of humidity in the air when you spray, it can get trapped underneath if your lacquer dries too quickly...called blushing. It will usually go away after a little time. You can add retarder to your lacquer before you spray, which will slow down the drying process and allow a little more time for the trapped moisture to escape.
