Yeah I moved the bridge too far right... Its aesthetic. I need to plug the holes (again) and move it left about 2 mm. Then remove the left shim and make one for the right.

Its complicated hahaha.

It plays great so its all in the looks!

Have you got the original pups?
I'll call second dibs after Troy. Bandmate who was selling the Les Paul and Gretsch to buy a Tele has had a revelation. It's dawned on him that he actually can buy more guitars without selling any first. :rofl:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
