These are just of the bridge and the ferules for now --
still taking these with my phone! Sorry for crappy quality.
Michael, my action is set around 0.010" (what is that, roughly 0.25 mm?) at the 8th fret low E side...and I am curving the saddles...just a bit, to conform with the fretboard radius. It's probably flatter than it is curved though -- I don't have a fretboard radius tool. Sighting it from the headstock, I can see some relief, so I may try taking a bit out.
But, like I said, I'm having fret outs not just above the 9th fret, but pretty much all over the place. For instance, the A string frets out at the 1st fret and 9th fret, but buzzes very close to fret out at 7th...and on the D string 9th fret (I think the 10th fret must need to be recrowned actually) it frets out, and if I bend up 1/4th a tone pulling down (toward high E string) it still frets out; but bending it up while pushing up (toward low E string), the fret out disappears! So, this to me sounds like I might have an issue with the 10 fret D through high E strings, but not on the A or E strings. I don't know; just seems to me from wherever I've adjusted truss and action, the buzz remains. So, I thought it must be fret related (or perhaps nut related still -- just gonna get a new bone nut for this thing), and not action or truss. Anyway.
Pics are of guitar just after installation, prior to setup. Thanks!
