MKA2 - yes, I want to be Johnny Ramone.

Although I have not fitted it yet. I can see mine will benefit from a string retainer to hold the D and the G down firmly in the nut slots.
I kinda made a bad decision going with a moslike roller bridge. It raised the string height considerably vs using the stock TOM.
Been quite happy with my last fret level and general neck relief attempt.
Am going to try a shim at the deep end of the pocket to raise the neck angle to be greater than the bridge height at it's lowest. It's got heaps of adjustment up if I need it.

Agree with your string retainer idea. They sit quite high

What kind will you use? I’ve no idea where to start.

Thinking of using one of those two string holder's, just for the D and G. Like this one...

Might be called a string tree?

Whilst waiting for a few things and also the neck to bed in I noticed that there is another FAMOUS mosrite player.

The inimmitable Potsie.



This stuff just keeps giving the love man......

Looks to me like there is some groovy ying and yang to the history of this model.☯️ (My first ever emoji)

Some close ups




Slots in the bone but are acceptable.
String height back to the tuners is very high! (String trees to come)

Amazingly the strings are now about 4mm closer to the pups and the action is not too high and nice (but I prefer a little lower.....we’ll see how that evolves)
