Nice work, but when you moved the heel back, how are you going to intonate the strings? Or did you change to a different scale neck?

If you just moved the pocket back, you may not be able to intonate the guitar properly.

if the pocket is routed the correct distance to accomodate the extra two frets of the DK2 neck, then all frets from the 22nd fret down will be in the same place. So it should intonate just fine.

Yeah i measured it up, found that it was 25.5 and compensated acoordingly.

New pics, but i messed up the inside long wing stripe, so i have to redo that one. . .
