Thanks everyone for your replies. They will help me greatly. To idch, the finish isn't near final on the guitar. On the other guitar I built (didn't need a neck angle), no dye/stain or paint was applied till after routing. I put a couple of coats of the dye on the body to see how I was going to like the color on the flame top. You're right to put a full finish on it then router it would be pretty dumb of me.
Thanks again for the replies. Maybe I can get it to play and look as nice as my Gibson SG's and Paul.
