Hello, can't wait to get my build together and show you guys!  Anyways, I bought a body blank from Warmoth, and it is routed for a tune-o-matic bridge.  I was planning on bolting this on using a neck plate, and as Warmoth angled the neck pocket for this bridge, I had a question.

Since it is angled, would that mean that the holes drilled for the bolts in the neck & the holes drilled in the body won't match up anymore?

I'm hoping that it isn't a big enough angle to really matter, or that the holes drilled in the body are large enough where it will still match up, I would really appreciate it if anyone can help.

:help:
 
The holes will line up perfectly, so don't worry. One thing you need to be aware of is that you'll need two different sizes of neck screws for a contoured heel, like this...

Look under "Neck Screws". If you don't use 2 long and 2 short, you can and will pop through the fingerboard with the tip of the screw. And we don't want anyone doing that, right?
