No sense removing all that wood, Dave. I agree. I never did like the acorn nut on my Gibson electrics. Is that what they use on the acoustics as well? I'm not sure on the neck angle, but my guess is that Dale is true to the original design. I don't know if my neck is bound or not. I told Dale to copy JT's guitar, so I guess it would depend what JT has! I think the answer is no.

Here's the minty 1943 SJ on which Dale is basing this model:

Look closely at fret board, it's looks like it is bound.

OK, here's a closer look:
And another: Again, the Banner SJs did not have bound fingerboards. Someone actually found the time to write a book about such things.

Yes, your original is not bound. I was referring to the picture on page 5 of the Fairbanks. That one appears to be bound.

And, yes, those frets are quite tall. I find EVO 55090, which Laurent Brondel turned me on to, to be much easier to play than short frets . . . especially those tiny vintage ones. That wire is 0.055" tall.

As cool as guitars get, in my not remotely humble opinion.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Fretboard being glued to the neck. Getting pretty close to show time.

Time to shape the neck and then move to finish. JT, do you think this is what it would have looked like in 1943?
