Hi folks,

Just got my first kit yesterday, GST-1 (american ash body, maple neck, jatoba fretboard)

Love the grain in both the fretboard and the body, so planning on doing a stain/natural kind of look to showcase the grain.

Just started doing the dry build, all seems sweet. 1 question though, how snug of a fit do we want the neck to be in the body. It is firm all the way around except for the "bridge end" of the heel.
See attached photo.
Should I be shaping that out a bit more to fit perfectly or is this gap the norm?

Look forward to this build!

Cheers
Mitch
