I don't envy you trying to get this intonated. Your therapist is going end up owning your soul.

Easiest guitar i have ever had to intonate.......

Used my special SM tool to get the two 'E's and then there is my MojoAxe bridge. These guys were fantastic. Service was flippin awesome. Can't rave enough about them.

looking sweet Gav, must be close to completion ?

How do you actually adjust intonation on those fixed bridges? Is it a fore-aft movement with those bolts on the tail piece?

[wokkaboy]

hey Nick, looks like as you described.

Absolutely correct! Plus it has some double sided screw at each end of the tailpiece bridge that raises or descends the height of the bridge.

Already been playing it since Sunday morning (12th October)...

Love the P90 sound. Lindy Fralins!

good stuff Gav, so did your Lindy Fralins turn up in the post or is it the JR-1DC build you are still waiting ?

Got the set of Frailins direct from Lindy's website. There were on order for a month. For the JR I went to the local Aussie supplier as they claimed they had stock and I expected to get the pickup in under 5 days.
Turns out I had to approach Paypal and open a case as Tone Bros ignored all my telephone calls and all my email messages. B-Man also sent them an email enquiry to their e-mail address on their website. He too is still awaiting a response.
Unfortunately, these guys are destroying the Lindy Frailin Brand name in Australia. After PAyPal contacted Tone Bros they claimed the pickups weren't in stock and would only arrive in 8 weeks time. So, despite my clear statement in the PayPal case that I want the pickup, I just want someone to tell me it's on its way...these bunglers cancelled the sale and refunded my money. They certainly don't seem to want good business. They also can't have much of a social network media monitor as you would expect that they would be a bit more attentive to the negative stuff on the premier guitar building forum in Australia?

oh well at least you got your money refunded Gav but wasted alot of your time. So you going to order the pup direct ?
