Just got a JM-1L kit delivered today. It looks quite good, the wood is pretty nice. I'm thinking either a nice light stain or just satin poly to seal it would look great. The frets are pretty good but still need to be levelled and smoothed. The wood is smooth already and won't need much work.
Two questions:
1. The neck fit is a bit too tight. Do I only sand on the sides that I have circled in the picture?
2. The bridge is weird, it is not mentioned in the instruction pdf. It is kind of like a strat but doesn't have mounting screws. Does it basically just get wedged under the two posts? Also one of the posts is not a super tight fit, I'd be kind of worried about it falling out, is there anything I should do there or is it all good once everything is wedged in?
