Setup

The strings are on and I am about done with the setup. The relief is 0.012, 1st fret clearance is 20-24 mils... although I think I want to tweak the trebels down a bit. Action is 80-110... I think I'll leave it that way for now as I expect the action to go down this winter. The saddle that came with it is micarta, although I have a bone blank that I may work up later. I still need to polish the fretboard with 0000 steel wool and then apply fingerboard oil. But other than that it's basically done and so far, it plays great!
