@tv101 Not saying it's terrible, just maybe not as good as having an actual piece of the wood lol. Worst case in this context 🤣 🤣

@NSJ - don't really see that as a worst case option TBH - I've got a load of veneers here waiting for a use!

@tv101 Worst case you could maybe use random wood then add a veneer to match the top?

Thanks @robin @swepri @boo Agree - I need to find a better matched piece of wood. I used up some "spare" bits making this one, working out how to get the shape out of the spare piece of wood rather t...

@robin Excellent, I’m pleased it easily worked out for you without having to do anything drastic. @nsj came through for you. Good call. 👍

Good news, the intonation is fine now. I put on a new set of 10's. Had to flatten the E & A at the bridge, the other four didn't need any adjustment. No need to move the bridge post, panic over. ...

@brie, sometimes it can be enough just to sink the top of the bridge posts into the body. Most posts have a wider bit that sits on top of the body. Maybe only 2-3mm thick, but than can be 2-3mm too ...

@swepri It could be worth checking the A string nut slot to make sure the string leaves crisp right at the end of the slot. Thats a good call, I'll check that when I'm changing the strings.

@brie I’ve often pondered the question of sinking a bridge into the body as an alternative to achieving an accurate neck back angle to give a nice low string action. Seems viable to me but , as I’m ...

@brie I accidently missed the neck angle on my first guitar and the solution was making a 2mm deep recess under the wraparound bridge. I made the recess larger, with rounded corners and it turned out ...
