Dear Sterling, Why not take a small single hand block plane and modify the angle of the block (or the neck) by the minute amount required to bring the assembly to what you require? Martyn __________________________________________________________________

This is the kit with the bowl formed and the neck angle cut. I plan on upgrading the kit in several areas including the soundboard, braces and ebony fingerboard. I am at the point of attaching the neck and I have a question---The supplied bowl does not lay flat which makes the neck come too far forward. I'm planning to make a false soundboard to force the bowl into the right shape. Am I going in the right direction?
