Neck doesn't 100% fit, what to do?

[Brendan]

might want to leave it a few days to settle in.... difference in humidity etc....

Worth doing... Neck should be tight, but you don't want to break things getting it in...

Can you give us a measurement from the nut to the centre of the 12th fret (metal fret), that will give the best representation of the full scale length.

Yeah its almost 13.5"
Checked out some web pages after a good search - Scale length is just that measurement x2 yeah?

Also thanks for the youtube link. I'll have a look through and see what I find!
