Lovely looking colour there, Nitro. I can't count how many silly finish damage incidents I've made, despite knowing not to do exactly what I actually do, so I sympathise fully.

Wow, just caught up on how things have progressed and impressed with how professional that Candy Apple finish looks.

Hopefully no more dramas as you enter the home straight.

Cheers, Waz

Hi Phil heres a pic of the logo space.

Attachment 25636

For everyone else Sonic is helping me with my logo, yay.

So while i was waiting for my logo i decided to string up the jaguar and check for straightness and intonation. When i fitted the bridge i noticed it was very sloppy and low so i used 2 washers to heighten it. Intonation was not good. research time....
The jaguar has a floating bridge, the bridge has 2 pivots which you extend with an allen key. DUH... Now it floats and pivots nicely. If you want a non floating bridge just use a nylon or plastic sleeve made from tubing.
just posted this for newbies like me wanting to do a jaguar kit. cheers.

If you have the bridge set as in the second picture, so that it's resting against the side of the hole, then when setting the intonation, you are also adjusting the string height slightly. And if you adjust the bridge for string height, then you affect the intonation slightly.

Far better to have the bridge posts sitting upright, even if you do fit some plastic tube around the posts to keep them upright but not floating.
