Sometimes things happen.... and other days things happen...
The neck looked to be in a better place so I thought maybe now is the time to get this Dragon breathing some sonic fire...
Loosened the strings and springs to remove the bridge, and with clear access to the fret board spent a considerable amount of time trimming the truss rod and giving the frets one final level/crown and plenty of polish. Yep, all was sweet and the frets 'Golden'...
Re-fit the bridge, tighten the strings and springs.... awesome... all in tune at 1.75mm action but intonation still to go... Oh, it's not that far out, I wonder what it really sounds like.? And how well does it 'dive bomb'??
Ping, Ping, PING !!! ....Whammy bars can be a near lethal thing... at least for a high E at the nut. And the B and the G were not interested in remaining connected to the bridge either...
Buggar.! Late Saturday arvo and no place open to get replacement strings and I don't want to break up yet another new set... Looks like all of Sunday will be a beer garden day...
