First build GSM-1 Mahogany

[Antoine Rad]

Hi all,

i introduced myself in the section for that in the forum, but i can sum up quickly
First builder of the GSM-1 Mahogany kit that is my nice birthday gift, I'm french living in Italy

I contact you because I have some questions that I hope are small issues!

I got issues to upload pictures so i will put links only, sorry for that

First, this is my kit :

1- When fitting the neck in the pocket, I got this situation :

I think I should sand on the sides of the pocket until the heel is completely flat in the pocket, correct ? not sanding at all the neck except before applying the glue, correct ?

2- I'm not sure exactly where to glue the neck, as the heel of the neck is not long enough

Is it normal ? I cannot find any tutorial for that, would you have that ? thanks!

3- the bone nut that i ordered from Pitbull additinally to the original one, is not the same size and is too small for frets height

Is the piece correct ? How should I solve this issue ?

Many many thanks for your help & talk to you soon!
Have a good day!
