Hi Borrel, I did sort out the intonation after buying a roller bridge online as I stupidly cut grooves in the original bridge supplied with the kit. I play this guitar in the shed plugged into a Peavey Practice Amp & it sounds really smooth to my ears. The addition of a roller bridge takes away the original look but Willy Nelson's 'Trigger' which has been patched up so many times, gave me the inspiration to think out of the square, and besides, guitars are made for pleasing sounds not looks. Hope you enjoyed your build & sorry for taking so long to reply as I have not been on the forum for over a year.
