Arie, thanks for back strip info. I'm going to sand it down a bit then!
So I'll trim things up a bit and post.

What did you use for that backstrip strip? I referred to Jonathan Kinkead's book for my first build and he suggested using a 5/8" wide section of cross-grained scrap trimmed from the edge of the soundboard so that it's basically as thick as your top. I went with one that I ordered from LMI.
