Much better. I would suggest you get some shorter Allen screws for the bridge saddles unless you really like pain or own stock in a bandaid company. :lol:

You're quite right Niki. You have no problems with the action that low or is it just the photo that makes it appear real low?

Depends on the player Hop'. I couldn't go anywhere near it without the strings rattling. Someone a lot lighter would be ok with it though as long as everything is in order along the fret tops.

Yeah, I hear you Niki. I usually set my guitars with a low action but as you know it can go from great to bad sounding in just a wee twist of the tool. Like you say, depends on the players' style. :wink:

my action is a little to low at the moment for my playing styles cause i break strings alot for just strumming. and the top of the allen heads are filed down so there less sharp. but like i said work in progress

Looking good.

The 10 screw pickguard throws me off some, but that's me.
