Neck length?

[polkat]

Okay, I unhderstand that the neck should be 130mm long, but is that from the end of the nut (facing the bridge) to the end of the neck, or the whole flat part of the neck? Thanks!

Back from the nut (facing the bridge) to the upper edge of the belly at mortise position. So you must atcually calculate the depth of the mortise in the lenght of the neck, when preparing the neck blank. Lenght from the back of the nut to the end of the neck (neck route) will accordingly be aprox. 136 mm, as the neck will enter in the uper edge of the belly (in mortise) aprox. 6 mm.
