It is fun isn't it... Have you thought about doing a neck through?
On my first ever build I screwed the neck angle up totally (had a TOM bridge)... On my second and third build I made neckthroughs... Slightly different process.. But for whatever reason at that time I found it easier than doing a tenon joint and both of those came out pretty well.
