    The finish is coming along nicely. I'm quite happy with how the body and head are looking. The decal edge is slowly going away with a bit of sanding and a few more coats of poly.



    I attached the neck, put the tuners on, put the bridge in, attached the claw and had a rough go at setting things up with the cheap strings on. The biggest problem I had was that after setting the intonation at the 12th fret it was out by almost half a cent on the first couple of frets. The nut might be the culprit, comparing to a couple of other guitars I have it looks very high. Any tips for fixing that?

    I got the claw in well enough I think, but my drill was too wide to get the screw holes in at the ideal angle, any tips for doing this better next time?
