Re: CA-glue: clogging the tip and cap
I don't use the bottle at all. I just suck up a cc or so into the bulb of a pipette and store it bulb down. A half inch hole drilled in a scrap of wood will hold it. It does not clog the tip of the pipette and doesn't harden or thicken. I have had it like that for weeks.

Re: moving from 14 to 12 fret neck joint?
I based the bracing on the Gibson 1929 L-1 bracing. The first thing I do when starting a new model is deciding on the scale length, then I determined the saddle position for the 24.25 inch scale length and adjust the arms, or shift the x to cover the corners of the bridge. The x angle is about 97 de...
