Man it's looking gorgeous! Every time I see one of these threads it makes me dream about sending in my R4 for a makeover...but I'm too cheap at the end of the day :laugh2:
On my 1958 LP Junior I get the string spacing right by loosening the strings and manipulating the ball ends around in the holes until the strings line up properly. You just have to play around with the ball ends until the strings are evenly spaced. It's not difficult to achieve the proper string spacing.
Alternatively, there are new after-market stop-tailpiece bridges that are intonated and align the strings better than the old style.

Then pack it up and ship it out at the start of the day...before that "cheap" feeling starts to set in! eace2

Absolutely love it! I’d love a Florian one day. And it came out looking like a real 54 in ‘almost’ mint condition, which is fantastic.
you mentioned intonation before, have you considered a mojo axe replacement? It balances out the top and bottom intonation areas more specifically and makes a massive difference. I use one on my 54 and it makes a world of difference, literally night and day. To the untrained eye it looks in place but you can see close up the pointy parts
Hi BlueFin,
Have you received your guitar?
What are your impression and feelings?
Cheers!
