You want to set the neck so the FB lines up with the bottom of the bridge, bring the strings up to tension, rest, reset, rest, reset neck, rest, etc. Once set up only change one string at a time. afortune Posted 2011-09-26 10:31 PM (#275492 - in reply to #275489) Subject: Re: Sticker Shock Joined: August 2008 Posts: 234 Location: Corning, NY It didn't sell, so he raised the price...interesting strategy.

I have had to grind down the bridge a bit (maybe not the correct move, but it worked) and reshape and lower the pickguard but this axe is now smoothe as butter and I find myself grabbing it instead of the Les Paul. These pickups are awesome.
