Trying to fit neck in pocket. For me something is not right.

Neck is 28.7 scale and body is made for 24.7 scale neck.

gluing is not good idea.Too different woods. 

Going to use bolts and threads. I think its the best solution

I found this on youtube.

I know. If the neck and body are made from different woods

body will have cracks on sides if its too tight. Remember everyone different wood types expands differently when climate changes.

I think I sand neck pocket sides straight and glue something on sides.

Sound best solution for neck.

I worked more on guitar body. I got new problem. String spacing is not right.

Bass string is 3 or 2 mm from fingerboard edge.
Treble string is 4 or 5 mm from fingerboard edge.
Needs to be another way. I'm right handed player.
Best is equal from both sides.

You are going to have to sand the side that is 3 or 2 mm another mm or so until you can get the strings even. Then fill and sand the other side until neck is fairly tight. I think before that you should set the neck on the body, and measure 14.35 from the 12th fret to the body and see if you can even put a bridge on it. Did you lengthen the neck so it would work? 

I fix the problem. I sanded 1-2mm  on one side. Then I put plywood another side. Right now neck do not move in

pocket side to side.

I need to measure again. Maybe I need to sand block in the neck end 1mm shorter. I'm sure that neck angel and length is right.
