All strung . . . . . . . out . . . . . . up . . .

Well I did have a 'free' morning this weekend so I decided to see how things fit together . . . here is the result next to it's relative . . . . .
For now it's hanging up to get the neck set before I start monkeying around with things. The HAMP locking tumers from Gotoh are nice but I'm not sold on the 'no string trees are needed' part of the advertising . . . the high E string has this annoying 'ring through' . . . then again the el cheapo plastic bridge (uhm . . . it's a NUT the BRIDGE is the OTHER end of the strings dummy . . . ) that's on it right now is almost certainly at least part of the problem . . .

The action is still pretty high but the bridge can still be lowered some ... and ... of course the neck hasn't 'set' yet ... and ... the truss rod hasn't been adjusted .... and ... that el cheapo nut is still 1 mm higher than it should be ... and . . . . . . I foresee some more work in the future.

On the plus side, it does play quite well already on the higher frets and I like the feel of the neck . . . a LOT.
