@jsullysix what's the diffrents with a straigt tune o matic bridge and a angled bridge?

love your work by the way your the real deal gibson are probably licking their chops when seeing your sunbursts!!!

[jsullysix]

@laiholapso Angling the bridge back on the bass side helps for a more accurate intonation. Thanks for the kind words!

[laiholapso]

@jsullysix and is a more accurate intonation needed or is it just a bit fundamental?

would the sound improve? saw the dj nelson v by the way nice job man looks very smoove.

[jsullysix]

@laiholapso You want to have your intonation dead on so that the guitar plays in tune all across the neck. Glad you liked DJ's V!
