Thanks Ben i went with a similar method that i mentioned to you before but the neck only goes into the box 85mm and i added neck angle so the pickup can be stood a little more proud from top of the box i drilled the Sycamore spine first then inserted the neck and cut a slice from the top of the block and neck at the same time so the neck just sits above the top of the box (all before i glued the spine in ) in the hope that it can be played slide or Fretless ? - let you know if it works out ???? lol!

Cool - good choice with the 30mm pole too. I used same on the primal diddly and it feels sooooo much better, plus you can afford to take a little more out to squeeze ya pup in :o)
