Update!
To measure the fret positions I created a spreadsheet I to calculate the distances, and marked them using a precision ruler. I had to make sure that the sides of the FB were perfectly perpendicular to the nut edge. To achieve this, I marked out the perpendicular lines on each side of the board, attached a piece of wood with a flat edge (using double sided tape) to the marked line on the FB, then used the router table with a flush trim bit to get the edge totally straight. I then did the same thing for the other side.
I cut the slots using a saw with depth stop purchased from Stewmac. For each slot, I clamped a piece of plywood scrap (one edge was perfectly flat, about 1/4in thick) as a guide for the saw onto the FB, and cut the slot.
After slotting the FB, I marked out the FB's final shape, and used the same procedure for creating perpendicular edges to cut the fretboard taper.
As you can see in the above picture, I have rough cut the neck to shape. I will cut the final shape using the FB as a guide. I sitll havent decided whether I want to do this before of after gluing the FB.
Next step was to shape the headstock. I drew the headstock from scratch in a cad program, printed it out and created a template out of 1/4" ply. This template was then taped it to the headstock front, and routed to shape with myrouter table and flush trim bit.
I have a question: Other than the pressure of the tightened rod and silicone lube placed at each end, what prevents a Hot Rod from being able to slide out of the adjustement slot once the FB has been glued? I really really really hope this isnt a stupid question, but am quite curious as the the answer.
