Found a local hobby shop where I will go tomorrow who sell thin modellers strips of basswood cheap, and as the body is basswood, will cut and glue one to size, sand a little if needed, then stain before assembly of the guitar... perfect...

240 grit too smooth to stain basswood?... I had started it with 180, then the grandson turned up and got interested so let him have a go, he was enjoying it, so left him alone for a while in the garage..he's 17 btw... when i went back he has a perfect finish on the guitar back.... he had changed to a 240 grit he thought was better....

Probably a good idea to check neck, string, bridge alignment before doing any glueing as that shot looks like too much taken off on lower bout side of neck pocket. Sometimes layers of finish on neck heel will take up a bit of that gap too.
