Thats just an old bridge I am using for set up. I like the swivel action!

I am in the process of cutting the neck angle and fitting the neck into to the mortise. The finger board in the photo is being held in place with a mock neck. This is to help me figure out all the critical dimensions like over stand, neck angle and bridge ht. Believe me, I'll be measuring more than twice.
