I use an old bosch GOF900ACE you should be able to pick one up for ยฃ50 maybe less, they are very good and reliable, the only problem with them is no e...
this is a bit embarrasing to admit but I realised the truss rod wasn't set right, no wonder the action was so high, it was set with a huge amount of b...
finally worked out what I did wrong today, when I calculated the break angle in the body, I was off by 2.5mm, now it all makes sense, I didn't include...

on the body I carved in another curve on the right side, also the replacement tuner has arrived today, thanks to northwest guitars for the great custo...
@boo @tv101 thankyou both!
