Hello friends
today before attaching fretboard to the neck i check the neck angle,

the neck angle is perfect but one problem is that the fretboard is not flat on the upper side of sound hole. i checked it with scale and found that the fretboard is about 2 mm high..
is it ok and should i glue the fretboard to the body?
or it should be flush (flat)

also how much should be the distance from soundboard near the bridge without glueing the fretboard?3
waiting for ur advices.

thanks in advance

I am sure there are many more threads here on the forum that can help you with your question.
If you are still unsure about what you are trying to do then let us know and I am sure someone will be happy to help if you have exhausted all the threads.

The search function works OK on this forum but you have to use all the options to narrow down exactly what you are looking for. You can't just type in a question like you would on Google.

Hope these help.

Cheers,

A picture would help. Are you saying that the fretboard itself curls upwards, since the neck angle is good?
