Changing the initial contact position of string to saddle by flattening a rounded edge or vice versa, could also have effect on foot placement.

The feet do not have to sit at a specific spot, where the saddle meets the strings however does. The placement of the feet could be slightly changed by the angle the feet have been sanded... I...

Im no pro but i do know all instruments have a life of thier own much like children. if you concern your self with a certain aspect too much your instrument will pick up on that and the knot will...

I do have a rather thick board on the neck. The reason for considering a new neck rather then a refretting, was the crack in the neck and fear of problems in the future. Thanks for the advice.
