i will post i picture of what i think you mean momentarily i suppose you mean lay a straight edge alon the sound board where the finger board would glue down and measure the distance beween the staight edge and the sound board where the bridge would be located

[ken cierp]

Yes that is correct

[Beau J]

when i lay a straight edge directly on the sound board here is .033 inches clearance between the straight edge and the sound board at the bridge area if i put the fret board on the sound board and lay the straight edge on it there is 1/4 inch clearance at the bridge area

Could you take a picture of this? You have a wide straight edge pinched tight to the area between the neck block and sound hole -- is this correct? What radius braces did you use? Did you bevel the top edge of the rim?
Sorry for all the question -- not having the problem in hand requires more data.

sorry for the inaccuracy when using a wider staight edge the measurement came out to .067 inches
