Yeah, I just pretty much whipped this up out of 1/4" MDF that I had lying around, scribed my own ruler marks on it, and will use double sided tape to stick everything together when I want to do a build, also left a long tenon on it so I could shim it for neck angle, and you can also use this to do body angle.
While it isn't the most impressive, for 45 minutes of work, it'll do.

Well I thought it was pretty genius of me anyway!

As The Padma says, "If it gets the pig clean, use it."

I agree! I think it's a simple take on a very good idea from Mr. Myka.

so you will just double stick tape those pieces together and clamp the apparatus to the body?

Essentially yes. Just make sure they are both equally spaced from the centerline, tape them in place, and clamp it all down and you're done.

You can angle the neck pocket using this too, just put your bridge underneath it, and you have your neck pocket angle, and you can do your pickup plane as well.
