I'm building my 1st guitar and am ready to do the first fit of the neck to the body. I noticed that the dovetail drops all the way through the mortise to the point where the neck surface without the fretboard attached is below the level of the top. This can't be right, can it?
I've called Martin customer service and they asked that I attach the binding and then fit the neck. They also checked my neck # and found that it was correct for my kit. I haven't modified the neck block, nor the neck at all. Will fitting the binding really make a difference?Please don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely not complaining about Martin Customer service. The personnel there have been great and very patient. I'm just double checking, getting a second opinion of sorts, from you guys that have helped me in the recent past.
Thank you.
