First build

[Trevor Davies]

Hi Tgraham.

I have not done this kit, but I'm going to say that the gaps are not normal - so the neck may need some sanding so as to sit better in the neck pocket.

As far as the angle of the fretboard to the body, I think it does look a bit high! But saying that, if you have a look at the linked pictures of a GR1-sf kit (which is also a set neck, hollow body, curve top) they look to be very similar:

and https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...l=1#post209787.

Definitely do a mock build with the neck in place, and the bridge (with screw inserts) in place and check if the strings are a suitable height above the fretboard.

Thanks Trevor will do

Making progress getting the neck sitting better. Done some sanding and the wife wants it to be an orange guitar not a bad colour (I hope)
Now wondering how to fit bridge post bushes without to much violence, currently they are a very tight fit and I’m a bit concerned if I force them in it may damage some part of the guitar top.
Thank you
Graham
