That cork is a very good idea. I had seen someone recommend using some wood to avoid clamping the frets ad the finish - but this will add a whole extra layer of protection. I'm sure I have a cork tile somewhere and I will definitely make up a piece like yours. There is no tennon on the neck of the FS kit - so I will need to be really careful measuring and setting the neck in position. (needed to do that carefully to mask off the neck before finishing - so am part way there).

I have an unused pack of cork placemats somewhere that would do the job nicely, by cutting & glueing varied width strips on a wood block @ fret spacing offsets. Another WDITOT moment!
