Looks nice.
I think the next step is the truss rod trench.
I know what a truss rod does. It arches the neck against bends that come from changes in weather or humidity. But I never really understood how. Now that I have a couple, and can play with them, I see. There are actually 2 rods. One end of both rods are welded together or inserted into a static block. The other ends is where the adjustment happens. The rod with the collar is threaded through another block. When you tighten it, the rod arches one way, and when you loosen, it goes the other way. See here:
Flat, no adjustment :
Tightened :
The other way :
I'll cut a groove into the neck, and lay this down inside. I'll drill an access hole into that slope I created above so I can get to the adjustment nut.
Then I'll glue the fret board onto the neck. That's a whole bother can of worms. I've befriended that luthier that is fixing my strat neck, and I'll most likely enlist his help for cutting the fret slots.
