As long as the strings are aligned, which it looks like they are, it's all good. Usually I put some tension on the strings before making the final tightening of a bolt on joint, to pull the neck into the body as much as possible.

i see, yeah CS replied to me an they said based on my pictures they don't see anything out of spec when it comes to my neck alignment. i also compared it to my brand new JP6 and it's does align pretty much the same. so i'll just leave it as is now.thanks!

I disagree... in my experience, it varies from guitar to guitar. Some guitars are rock solid, with perfect alignment in every season of the year. Others need adjusment. And others, less fortunate, have severe misalignments, and the neck won't go right no matter what you do.

Well, given that I saw a few that were just one piece, it wouldn't stray from logic that they could also build two guitars for us =D
