Hi all, kit arrived today and am really excited to get going. Test fitted the neck and noticed quite a gap between the fretboard and body. I put the bridge on and used a straight edge to check the fret board aligned with the bridge and all is good. My question is has anyone filled the gap with veneer or is it best to smooth it off and leave it?

Also, gave the body a sand with 280 and applied a layer of sanding sealer to the back as a test. Hoping to seal the body and neck before starting a tru oil treatment. I did use a Wattyl sanding sealer and after I applied it read that it should only be used under Wattyl polyurethane top coats. Hoping the tru oil takes? I'm sure it'll be right...

Have to say, kit has met all expectations so far. Really nice grain and well put together on first inspection.

See below photo for gap.

Cheers and looking forward to picking your collective brain power for advice along the way.
