    That’s why I’d always recommend fitting a set of proper strings and just throwing away the Chinese kit strings as they really are terrible. You moved the bridge that first time for no reason apart from those awful strings. IMO, PBG would be better removing them from the standard package that goes out (along with the awful jack lead), even if they had to replace them with some other cheap, but acceptable, set.

    You’re absolutely right, meticulously calculating bridge placement, setting action, intonation, neck relief with strings you aren’t going to use retularly does not make sense!

    That’s what I like about building these kits - this is a real learning experience.
