Yesterday tried to do a final setup of the guitar, intonation and all.
At the start of the build I had noticed about a 2mm difference in the thickness of the heel of the neck (that is heel to fret board). And the fretboard on the right/body side sloping. Adam ensured me it wouldn't be a problem for the playability.
By shimming one side I have manage to compensate eland get the neck in stable, but... After a complete setup (trussrod, nut and saddles) I was not satisfied with the action I was getting without any fret buzz.
I tried changing the angle of the neck by shimming, but this brought up the neck even more, and the saddles are already pretty high as is.
Now I am at the point where I:
1. Accept the higher action.
2. Sand down the heel of the neck slightly and try to get rid of the slope in the heel, (whilst that does not compensate for the slope on the right side of the fretboard)
Your help for this final bumb is much appreciated!
