WOW What a great guitar!  It’s not often I get such lovely guitar on the bench.  However It wasn’t quite playing as well as it should, so I gave it a bit of a tweek here and there.

This really is something special, when Fender put you name on it for you.  out of deference to the owner I’ve blocked it out in these pictures.

The trem’ was sitting just a little high.  I like to have a complete tone available to bend up, this one went about 3 semi-tones.

Just tighten up the trem’ screws.

The neck was actually a little to flat, rather unusual, it’s normally the other way around.

Easily sorted by slackening the truss-rod a little.

With that done I checked the action up at the 12th fret, about right, just a little high.

First set the outside 2 “E” strings…

and then the other strings, matching the radius of the fretboard.

Next the action a the 1st fret.  Spot on as you would expect from the Fender Custom Shop.

Next the intonation.  Not far out, but in need of a small adjustment.

Lastly the pickup heights.  This is always just a starting point, you need to plug it in and listen to it.

There it goes, feeling, playing and sounding every bit as great as it looks.

What a stunning piece of wood!
