As I build this guitar, I'm going to have a few questions and may need some advise. Hopefully this thread is where I can do that.
I will try to find answer elsewhere, but this places seems like an incredible resource with all the experienced builders here.
If this is the wrong place, please let me know!
Anyhow, first question I've come to ask is the fit of the neck and the body. I've always read that the neck and body should fit snugly together. The next and body I purchased together, do not seem to fit very snugly together. I do not want to do anything to the neck / body until I know both are okay and there is nothing wrong with this wiggle.
Here is a quick video I made showing it wiggle when I put them together (sliding the neck in from the top->down. (as Warmoth recommends) I did not slide it in sideways)
Excuse the focus shaking. I'm using a Pixel 3 phone and it has that focus bug that makes using the camera awful.

So the question is, should I contact / send it back to Warmoth? Or is that okay? That definitely isn't a snug fit I expected and both the neck and body where quite expensive.
Thanks for your feedback!
Dave
