Excited to get started on my first build, and ES-1F!
The veneer has a nice flame but is slightly rough around the edged in some places. Not so much that I'm worried about it though. No bubbles and no visible glue squeeze out that I can see.
I've just done a test fit up and confirmed the break angle is all good and that the neck pocket is straight etc... I was able to get everything aligned and achieve a good break angle. My concern is that with the neck seated in the pocket there is a pretty decent gap on the treble side as well as at the heel above the binding.
I test fit both E strings and they were evenly spaced along the fretboard so I don't think it's an issue with the neck being mis-aligned.
My question is, is this normal? is it something I should worry about? Just fill the gap after I've glued up and move on?
