Unfortunately not, I think it’s like you say, I know it’s there. Under further inspection, it seems quite long but shallow, I think there is a v shape and it contacts the body rout as it should further down, the other side isn’t so bad, I’m sure there is plenty of wood contact in there, I may just leave it be. I did read that on older instruments and in some cases newer ones, they left a gap for ease of installation, not sure I’m buying that though, I think this just a little sloppy, not as sloppy as the SG though. Looks like an angry beaver set that neck!
