| I finally received my NEB 2778 lx yesterday (first O). It looks great and sounds great.
I did notice there was a bit of a space where the fret board meets the body. Is this acceptable?
another view
I was able to insert a little bit of the hang tag into the space.
Thanks in advance,

Location: Boise, Idaho | Some were built with the floating fretboard. Supposed to let the top vibrate more. I thought they stopped doing that, but it certainly isn't a problem if the end of the fretboard and the top don't meet. If your action is good, your neck angle is probably good, so leave it where it is. |

| Thanks all for the quick responses. It's a relief that I won't have to deal with having to exchange it.
