I'm inlaying my first carbon fiber bar in a neck and since I did the slot with a router plane, the fit is a bit loose. I don't have to fight to stick the rod in, and there are some slight gaps here and there. Slight, don't imagine it is dangling in there  I will use epoxy and imagine it will be fine, but curious about others have to say about this. Thanks. |

It will be fine. Once the fretboard is on there is no way the bar will move. |

Epoxy likes a few thousandths gap, you'll be fine. |

What a coincidence. I bought a Veritas plow plane from Chris Beebe here over a year ago, but all my guitars since then have been solid wood necks so I hadn't had a chance to use it until now. Just last night I planed a slot in a scrap to test the fit for carbon fiber bars, got the same result of a couple thousandths of gap, and was wondering if it would be ok. Glad to hear it is
