<p>If I match the neck template with the center line of the maple top, the neck would stick out about 2mm in the cutaway (especially for one of them) SEE PICTURE. I was thinking of drawing a new center line and making sure the neck template is not overlapping.</p>
<p>Also, when is the best time and the proper way to drill for the bridge? it is easier before carving the top, but my intuition says I should wait until after routing the neck pocket and fitting the neck. Then I can measure the exact bridge position, right?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your help!</p>
