Agreed a longer plane helps.
You can also run them together over a well set up jointer. I fold the bookmatch together, held by not too much double sided carpet tape.
There is also the router method where you lay them flat together attached to a piece of mdf with a straight factory edge on it. You then use a flush or pattern bit guiding the bearing along the mdf edge. I find it easier with a router table.
People also use a shooting board but I've not had great luck.
If your joint gaps are within the soundhole area, no problem. A small gap under the fretboard extension may also be forgivable.
