First Build - ES-12G

also noticed a wee gap underneath the neck.
Not too fussed about it to be honest, but has anyone else had this?

Hi John as long as there is no gap between body and fingerboard ?

Can you please post a close up of the heel join in the same position you have it now ?

will try to work out best way to cover the gap between the binding and the heel

I'm pretty proud of my template to be honest wokka, I was bored, had a bit too much time on my hands ;)

there's no gap, the neck is just sitting on the veneer, if that makes sense.
can't get closer as i'm using my iphone and it blurs out. heres a larger photo,

Good work on the template, John!

thanks swanny, lets hope i can do as good a job on the real guitar

Hey John, might be worth trying to get a white filler in that area between the neck heel and the body binding, looks a bit messy as it is. Might blend in better if you try and match the binding colour, or another option is to get matching binding, cut into small pieces and put in a bowl of acetone and it breaks down to a liquid and use that to fill it

thanks wokka, good advice, i was probably going to stick some filler in there, but the binding/acetone thing sounds interesting.
I guess either the body is thicker or the neck is thinner than usual, as i noticed on Swanny's 12G it doesn't looks so bad.

I've gone the easy option with the logo, The Diamond thingie I saw on an old ES 12 string, and the Pitbull logo.
Made them up on CAD (hope thats OK Adam?) and printed on a pearl background. Will send them off to Nova to get them printed on decal paper. Hoping they'll look almost pearlish under a couple of finishing coats

That logo should look good John. Are you putting colour on the head stock?
