PaulThePlug Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) Set-up reasonable-ish. Neck on without any shim, Gave the truss rod half a turn to take out some relief... Action reasonable Intonated OK on the DG, alrightish on the A, E still a little sharp, so saddle needs to go back, but height adjuster screws are almost at the back of the plate groves. The body came with screw mounting hole markers for a std Fender bridge, and the Gotoh-alike is meant to be a simple swap rellacement... perhaps i should of gone 3-5mm further back. Soundwise... Beefy Low Thump, with the flats... when compared to the Ibanez GSR200 PJ wearing flats. (My Ibby SR600 is a bit more modern sounding... but also with flats) Bit of a 'Ghosting' type tone from the E. Pickup Heights? Leant it to a mate who plays for a few days to see what they think... Got it back earlier today, so now its had a fortnighg bolted up to settle, I'll give it another going over, hopefully this afternoon Oh... and @Dad3353 came to my rescue when i asked about 3D printing a bezel. Great job and a matching Thumb Rest! a real Gent! I think it finishes it off nicely, together with the cream covers and headstock decal for that Custom 'One-Off' look. Weight is about 4.2Kg on luggage scales. Untill next time...🍄😵💫😉 Edited September 22, 2021 by PaulThePlug 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velarian Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Looks great and the bezel/thumb rest finishes things off nicely. Hopefully further set up tweaks will improve it further. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
