took the binding tape off today (pic 1-3). in pic 3 closeup you can see glue bled out and yellowed the wood. i take it i just sand this off so i used 150 grit and sanded out the yellow. most of it was on the bottom like that. there were some small spots on top which i sanded also. for the most part it fit really well. i did notice by the top near the neck there is a small space. it will probably be fine as is but i will probably look to put some wood dust in there and seal with glue. even if i don't i think i am ok (hopefully lol).
also i noticed if i hold the fretboard flat against the top it angles slightly up when i get to the other end near the headstock (pic 4 & 5). not sure if this is normal. could be the bow of the neck and i will fix later on with the truss rod? did i miss some levaling measurement between neck and top?
