This guy was giving me a bit of grief with playability. The routing in the back for the bridge plate wasn't quite deep enough to give a lower action. The bridge saddles are chunky and I couldn't lower them any more than they already were.
I was going to file the saddles down, and leave the routing as is, but it was getting to be a drag doing that, and I took a chisel to it. The carved section is separate pieces of wood to the back, so I had a guideline to take off as well, which helped a ton.
Hopefully this shows that it's sitting down a bit further than what it was, the edge of the guitar shows the original level.
So now I am able to set the string height properly. Unfortunately not all is done yet, I've got a bit of fret levelling that I'll need to do, hopefully sort that on the weekend.
