colour looks nice and deep for first coat on the body Greg, well done. The first coat is always the thirstiest !
How much saddle travel have you got in the new bridge ? Typically the E string saddle should be about another 5mm (roughly 437mm from 12th fret) further than nut to 12th fret dimension (432). This is to compensate for the string width.
This is only a rough guide and you won't find out till you intonate it
