To fix the neck alignment problem I took a drastic measure - glueing in the neck. Of course it would've been more cosmetically pleasing if I'd used some proper glue and not no-nails! That aside, a day or so in a vice to dry seems to have done wonders for it. It's now re-aligned and does not shift easily from side to side any more, in fact it doesn't shift anywhere as it's quite solid.

Today I took it out of the garage once more as I last night bought a new humbucker to replace the neck pickup and decided that I wanted to prepare it for the arrival. As I said above the glue has set and is quite solid it's just a shame I didn't use a better type of glue (what can I say cost plays a part as usual!) as I'm now left with a white strip around the neck. I have tried to clean this up as best as possible. Am also toying with the idea of painting over it with a similar red paint but I'm pretty wary that this will actually work (or at least not work as well I'd hope).
