Well the boxes came today. Other than the vintage tint being a little more yellow than I thought it would be and a poor judgment call on my part on the output jack size I couldn't be more pleased!
However I am a little worried. When I fit the neck into the body frets 20 - 24 are not snug against the body. Its as if it was built to have a pickguard underneath it. What is the most common fix for this, a wood spacer between the body and neck or route the neck joint a little deeper so that it fits? Or is it something else? Now I was thinking as well, this is my first build so if I make the neck joint 'deeper' does this effect tuning/tone of the guitar?
