i know it's not you want to hear Jon,but that neck is nearly unplayable,can you remove the extra fretboard,and lift the whole neck as it enters the box,and maybe add a heel to cover your cut out?

I had done it here without that extra headstock piece glued on but I wouldn't be able to cut it off with a hacksaw... Don't know what I was thinking..

If you know approximately where the bridge will sit, within 1/2 in, then you can mark and cut the fret slots measuring from the nut, putting either the 25.5 mark of your ruler at the nut position of the fingerboard or the 0 mark of the ruler at the nut, depending on which direction the fret calculator gives the layout.

And once you string it up you can then shift the bridge to correct the intonation (usually a few more millimeters away from the nut on the treble side and a few extra millimeters on the bass side.

More great news...just hope now that my fretboard height won't be too high to break to the tuners. Thank you
