With mine I had to move the neck out about 6mm to get the intonation right. Would had been a lot further if I had stuck with the original bridge. Bought a Gotoh bridge that has more adjustment. I made up a shim to go between the body and the neck heel so when I went to glue it I knew I had the right measurement for the intonation.Originally Posted by jonwhitear
Now the guitars had a week to acclimatise, I've tested the neck fit with the scale length measured. Looks good to me. It does, however, leave the heal protruding from the body quite a long way. Would it be safe to shave this down? If so, any tips on how to do it other than go at it with a rasp?!
The bridge and tail piece holes where out about 2.5mm as well. Plus there was no earth wire hole to the bridge. The fretboard needed a few cracks filled plus 2 frets needed gluing down. Other then that it went well.
