There is one thing I have noticed, the nut is not locked yet as I am trying to let the whole thing settle and the wether here is + and -. Plus has been high as 43 inside and cold as -2.3. Yeh cat crawled under the old down sleeping bag I had on top of a blanket over my German summer Doona .
So the guitar has been in and out of heat and humidity stress.
There is one thing I noted as I keep playing it a bit like a Rythm guitar, was that a little energy on the neck changes a lot the clearance on the frets at the last fret before the bridge. Maybe I should check again with my neck gauge level to see if it’s all ok or was the rod not screwed just tight and now it’s loose?
Time will tell.
