Hi Aaron. The angle is about 2 deg, and the bridge height is 3/4 inch. The angle can be achieved by a 2 degree cut at the heel, rather the a 90 degree.

Can you tell me the degree of angle on the fretboard and the height of your bridge?

Hi Neighbor, The one piece neck extends under the top. like most CBGs, and glued underneath. On some of my other mandolins the neck is on the top. I angle up the fret board with a wedge under the fret board to raise the strings a bit over the top. Seems to improve the sound a bit, as well as the "look". The neck doesn't have to be so fancy, but I like it.

That is sweet! I would like to try making one for a friend, but they seem very challenging. Did you have to use bracing under the top?
