Yeah, me and my dad were a bit worried we might have taken too much out! On the plus side, I should have enough wood for at least 3 more necks so if it really doesn't work I can always re-do it! Thanks for the advice!
Holly, that looks well done on the cutout, but maybe a bit thin on the wood going through the box. Usually less than 3/4 inch is prone to bowing the neck. It may be okay or you could glue up a 1/4 inch or so piece under the neck and even have it come out of the box and inch or more as a 'heel'. I hope it comes out a winner for you. The truth is that 90% of us have had some builds that did not work out. I hope you enjoy the build and soon build another.
