I have nut files ready. Interestingly it seems you got the last one as they are out of stock now.. Good bargain that was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a Nashville but they have the screws facing forward. Yes. Not the best way around if making adjustments. Its intonated well, but the slots are badly cut.

merciful-evans Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 The bridge came today (early). Surprisingly its a Gibson part too. The saddles have now been slotted (a bit high, in case I need to alter anything) and the bridge fitted. So far it seems pretty good. Intonation seems pretty much there. No fret buzz anywhere. After I have played it for a few hours, I'll recheck everything and use a tuner to intonate. 👍 Also, the case has been made to fit Only waiting for strap pins now, and its done. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Nice guitar! I’ve always been into these too but never got one be careful with that foam in the case touching the nitro. Probably want to cover that with a soft cloth or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's progress! 👍 But what impresses me most, has nothing to do with guitars. Looks like UK is the last place on earth, where the mail can reach you even on a Sunday, and where physical stores are open. That's good, because economic activity - without which there'd be no civilization - has enabled humanity, to climb down from the proverbial tree. Too bad so many are striving, to climb back up again. Like in most of Europe, for example. 😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Mail are less impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The United States Postal Service delivers on Sunday all the time. I have received many parcels from them on a Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Europe, they close all stores (and government and non-government "public" institutions) on Sundays, except for gas stations. They say neo-liberalism has attacked their way of life, high up in the trees. Communism is rampant!

Economic freedom rulez! Slovenia is off the map, because it is a hard-line communist jamahiriya. But did you know, that Germany has all stores (including groceries) mandatorily closed on Sundays? Most of the EU is totally lost in bureaucracy, regulative hysteria & plain old foolishness. The other day I saw two UK guitar shops (Andertons, GuitarGuitar) having their Gibson lineups fully refreshed with new arrivals. Very refreshing. We don't even dream of that in the EU. (And I am still waiting for the ES-335, ordered and paid 10% in advance in May of 2020 🤣). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something changed with EU regs since Brexit, it should be individual nations deciding on Sunday trading. Its traditionally a religious objection of course. Last year I even worked over Christmas. Certainly not all, but many stores (and all food ones) are open Sunday here. I hope you get your ES-335 soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
