Getting closer.... just need to adjust the nut. Then electronics to follow. I'll then set up with decent set of strings

Looking really nice. The action looks a bit on the high side (though it could simply be the camera angle). Can you get it low enough with that bridge?
Cheers Simon. Optical illusion it actually went the other way a bit (too low) but all sorted

Thanks Chuck. Also a nice sound and I've forgotten how light hollow bodies are in the hand. My resident tester also commented on the weight and sound
Nice to get to the closing stages on this build after just clocking over a year! It was destined for the fire pit on more than one occasion.....
