    Actually the setup isn't too bad. The bridge is not great, it doesn't have the necessary range of adjustment so I will have to adapt it by filing down the base of the adjusters which cannot be seen when fitted.
    I think the 5th fret is high and buzzes on the e and a strings between frets 2-4. The bow on the neck looks pretty good, it is close to straight with a slight concave bow. I haven't measured exactly what this bow is, but I don't have the specs for this neck, does anyone?
    The intonation was pretty good straight out of the box which was nice.
    I'll fiddle with the bridge and play it a bit before doing anything too drastic.
    No buzzes or hums from the electrics, but some wonderful tones through my guitar amp! Will look forward to wheeling out the SVT sometime over the holidays,,,

    Very nice work. Just take the last steps in a steady manner and you'll get there.
