Believe it or not, my phone takes better pis than my camera...... My uncle has an SLR, but i have yet to use it though... Might just wait until it's done, that way you can see it clearly until it's 100% 
Yeah, they take a while to load on my comp as well. Of course the internet at my new place isnt exactly the fastest thing in the world so that doesnt help. lol
Got the neck mostly shaped up, as well as the volute....
After filing, I sand it even some more.

It's shaped much like a peavey grind and I believe I have it close to this, or at least as close as memory serves me..
The back of the neck shape, not the headstock, i'm trying to recall a dean headstock like that though.........
My bad. It reminded me of this....

As usual, I couldn't let my ignorance keep me from putting my foot in my mouth.
It doesnt look like the dean headstock to me. Jason, if i forget to email you i have some pickup info (which may or may not mean anything). lol
Worked on the neck pocket transition a bit.
Started with a pencil line, where the body meets the neck.
I hit it with a file some...
Then I shape it up with sandpaper...
I rounded off the headstock edges, front and back, also rounded off the fretboard edges slightly too..

lol, good one. Normally i wouldnt have thought anything of that post but it reminds me of this (only because my Chef played it on the radio this past saturday).
Mounted the neck and put the outside strings on, so I could see if it had to be shifted any... nope, none required.
After that, I needed to see if there were any sanding marks anywhere on the neck. I use 1 single coat of tru-oil....... It'll make any mark, scratch or indentation very visible, plus you'll see how the actual color will be, when it's finished.

Of course the pic i really want to see isnt showing up. lol
O yeah, i know the picture size thing got brought up. The older pics arent that big but the new ones are actually HUGE. They arent large in size but the resolution is really high. Thats may be why its not as noticable.
Also, could you add the newer stuff to the facebook album? If its a hassle dont bother but its easier to go through them that way.
