Is the neck supposed to be seamless on a set-neck?

Is the neck seamlessly attached to the body, or is there like a line or something where you can tell what's the neck and what's the body? If I run my finger over it, can I feel it?

I think it's time to start sanding .

I haven't actually attached the neck yet. I'm just wondering how close they line up.

I can't tell from that picture if that guy's neck is supposed to be lined up with the body, or if it doesn't quite reach the bottom of the body. Actually, on the next page, it looks like it doesn't quite make it to the bottom. Mine does, should it be seemless?

It depends. On Washburn Dime 3 guitars, for example, you can't see the joint.

But on Gibson's guitars, you can see where the neck joins the body.

Do whatever makes you feel comfortable...

It can varry. The best set neck ive seen is on a carlson guitar.
