Congrats and enjoy, Jaimoe!
Please flip the TRC before you give some of us an embolism.

There’s a shim between the top and neck block . It’s slightly wedged shape it’s apparent that they were inconsistent in thickness’s that primarily is the cause for hump in the top which obviously effects the fretboard extension.Got the CO-2 home yesterday. Everything's perfect.
Re: warping/humping: Garrett Riley did say that as he was adjusting the neck, he noticed that if he over-tightened two of the screws, the fretboard and top would both immediately begin to deform. Apparently the two graphite rods under the fingerboard extension are so much stiffer than wood that once they're under pressure, everything else has to give since they don't.
Perhaps that's a sign that the cause of the warping in some models is a design flaw inherent to the design itself, not just a manufacturing or assembly defect?
Anyway, it's an awesome guitar. Bright, loud, sweet, and lively. If other Guilds are as good as this one, I may be hooked
Did you do this or have someone do this to your Contemporarys?tap off the top along the fretboard edges . Remove the neck then locate the hump area and sand down to level
I do it if neededDid you do this or have someone do this to your Contemporarys?
Welcome to Guild, buddy.@chazmo: ah, I see. I actually asked Garrett to flip it that way because the TRC on all my other guitars are wider on the bottom. I assumed it was the wrong way 'round!

Well, actually... Tacoma truss rod covers also do the same thing But I agree it's a nice touch. I love it when guitar designers use the same subtle motifs throughout the build.Yeah.
The TRC is one of those subtle little aesthetic touches Guilds have. It mimics (in miniature) the crest at the top of the peghead, something none of the others ever did.
