SG jr / GSJ-1 first build

If you feel you want better intonation adjustment, try and find one of these bridges.

It's lower than the stock bridge (the top of the saddles only come up to the top of the body on the kit bridge and the kit bridge saddles then stick up about 5mm higher than that) and well made. Same size fixing and post centres. I believe this is also a bridge that can be bought badged as a Wilkinson one.

Have found on those MusicLily bridges, the saddles can be a bit loose and cause a buzz. I think it's from where the bottom of the saddle and the top of the channel align. Some can be a little off and I find the fix is a sparing bit of Loctite (wicked front and back of the saddle) once desired intonation has been set. Apart from that, they are good adjustable wrap arounds. And easy on the wallet. I'd still be open to trying one of these Wilkinson bridges that have the two available adjustments on them, rather than just the one, which is what I think is on this build.

Oooh, thanks for the tip. I'll try first with the current one and see how decent the intonation is but order one of these if it looks like it's not good enough.

Thanks for that Simon, I have now ordered a gold one to go with the black body on my gsj-1, if it doesn't look right it hasn't broken the bank.
