First Build - EX4

Here it is.

Need to restring it so its B, E, A, D. That will require some filing of the nut and then a decent setup.

Wish i'd got the black hardware.

That does look nice.

On further inspection I reckon it is that chunky bridge causing most of the action height problems.

You could either look at counter sinking it if you want to keep that style or look for an alternative, and a black one which wouldn't look out of place with chrome knobs & tuners.

Thanks man! I'm quite happy with how its turned out.

Its definitely the bridge causing the problems with the action. Thats why I stuck a shim in the neck pocket try and offset it a bit.

I'll probably replace the bridge at some point, the knobs and the tuners. Go all black and do away with the chrome entirely.

I used the last one, not bad, just not brilliant but did improve lowering the action.

I went with a black Babicz. Expensive, but a very nice piece of kit. I have a Badass bridge for the next project, but it's nowhere near as nice as the Babicz.
