I wonder if people might chime in, and let me know if these are acceptable levels of poor finish - I realise it's not a rolls royce, but I'm not totally happy with these issues, nonetheless...
Marks (sorry the photo is blurry, and I should take another one to enhance it, but I can't ascertain what these three marks are - I don't believe they're a natural part of the wood's appearance, and if it is, surely it shouldn't have been used for the top?!
End of neck finish below fretboard - I don't know what to do here - get it replaced, or could I try to tidy it up?
It's not like I can hide it...
Binding alongside neck joint, front to back - poorly finished, binding not even fully going to edge of joint...
Gap at rear of neck/body joint - maybe a bit of sanding to underside of neck heel will bring it down?
Another view of poor binding alongside neck/body joint, plus the neck block not even joined to top all the way
The other side of neck block not touching the top, plus a visible crack in the side, near neck/body joint
Photo limit reached - I'll add that pic next comment...
