So heres the neck with the waste cut out. I use a 13 degree headstock, for those who may be wondering.

This next photo shows my locator jig inplace. I'll explain the layout in the next couple of photo's.

I've been using this jig to set the locator holes for the fretboard. The 2 holes are mirrored on the fretboard so all I have to do is use 2 short dowels to pin the fretboard on and it's perfect/ on center from nut to 14th fret. The most important thing to me on a "custom" guitar is the neck. I've felt the small inconsistencies in some makers necks that just make a superior guitar by a superior maker not worth the purchase my mind because the flow of the neck was gouged. And believe me I’m extremely nit-picky, I’m not afraid to say it, I’m a neck Dork.
So I'm trying to jig everything out to the point where I can be extremely certain that my own consistency will be there, layed out correctly, as close to 100% of the time as I can get it. So here’s the 2 locating holes. The second shot shows my waste cutline and where my dovetail will end.
