Hi everyone!

First post for me but I have been watching the forums for some time before finally pulling the trigger on a kit.
Really looking forward to getting my first build under my belt.

TLA-1 kit has arrived and finally on the work bench.
Adam at Pitbill was great with the communication even over the holiday break!

When I tested the neck fit I noticed there is a gap on the bass side.

Any advice on correcting this would be greatly appreciated, It seems that I could take a bit off the heel but I thought it would be best that I reach out to the experts first incase a make a right mess of it haha!

Not sure what finish I will go for yet, was originally going for some sort of stain but am now a little unsure given the obvious joins.
Will have to go on a forum scroll for some inspiration.
