This isn't ideal:



But I would give the kit a couple of days to acclimatise and settle down. They can shift around quite a bit after shipping. Can we see the other side of the heel? Can you try measuring either side of the heel to the fretboard and see if it's the same on each side?

You may have to give it a bit of a levelling sand.

This looks normal to me:



The tang on the bottom there doesn't go all the way to the back of the pickup cavity. You also need to mount the bridge temporarily (use some tape around the posts rather than pushing the receivers in at this point) And establish the scale length and get the neck properly lined up with the bridge before you glue. It's a good idea to mount the high and low E tuners and use a bit of ordinary string run to the bridge to line everything up like this :



So get it all running true then unclamp, apply glue and re-setup with the clamp and strings before it sets, you should have enough work time to wiggle it around and get it right before it sets.


This happens a bit with replacement nuts. Bear in mind that the kit nut is usually waay to high, so in terms of height that looks about right to me. You will need to wait until its more assembled to check it properly. The gap behind is pretty normal as well, I've trimmed a bit of black plastic in there before to tidy it up. Happens on commercial builds as well. Is it wide enough across the neck?
