I took a top off of guitar and removed most of the old kerfing and got spruce off of neck and tail blocks. Of course the blocks are now higher than the rim less than 1/8 or .125 or whatever mm that is. I noted prior to removing the kerfing, that it was still at the same height of the blocks. Reason removed old kerfing is some of it broke when removing top, it was pretty thin and not sure about stability along with other issues. I was just not comfortable leaving it on, in addition, it would look awful later if inspected. With those things known, looking for options as to putting on a new top. I before have just sanded the blocks down to the rim, put on new kerf and then put on top like one would do normally, of course guitar less in depth. Is that my only option? Can I put on new kerfing and height of the blocks, bowel sand for radii of top and then glue new top on? I think still leaves issue of top continues to be higher a small amount from rim,
as the new kerf is higher than rim the say for comment 1/8" whatever that number is. What can be done if anything, other than sanding blocks down to rim height and making depth less?
