Here's a left handed 2003 Fender Deluxe Strat body with a 2012 Custom Shop neck. This came in with a very high neck set over the body. The Micro Tilt screw in the neck pocket was engaged which allows you to quickly dial in the neck angle if necessary. I am not a fan of the Micro Tilt as it is a single screw that pushes up the rear of the neck and acts as a single-point shim. The better alternative is to use a traditional wood shim with as much contact in the joint as possible. This guitar did not require the neck to be shimmed as I backed off of the Micro Tilt and dropped the bridge down. Lefties are always a trip to play test!

A custom shop 2012 Gibson ES-359 in for a fret level and an odd top crack. This is the main guitar for Caton Sollenberger of The Jauntee. He is heading out on the road starting from Worcester, MA at the end of the month. The band will be kicking off their fall east coast southern tour.
The final setup video from the vlog:
Caton Sollenberger, guitarist of the Boston band The Jauntee, stopped by the shop with his custom shop ES-359 to get it tweaked for their upcoming southern tour. They will be kicking off the run this Friday in Hampton, VA.
