Yes, it does...

Post by: Dave W on May 05, 2014, 08:47:09 PM: I thought from the Craigslist pics that it could just be the camera angle but it does look way too high in the third pic from the eBay auction.

Post by: Basvarken on May 05, 2014, 11:54:16 PM: Haha and if you lower the action would it raise the price then?

Post by: godofthunder on May 06, 2014, 03:39:14 AM: I have found there is plenty of adjustment in the Bachs. I'd bet you can get the action nice and low.

Post by: ack1961 on May 06, 2014, 01:28:03 PM: I've wanted one of these BaCH's for a while, but I'm in the middle of a sell-off right now - trying to help fund my son's studio/recording gear, so this will have to wait.

I asked the seller about the action and remaining adjustment at the bridge (or if the camera angle just made the action look high).
He said the action is fairly low to normal and the neck is straight. He also said that there is enough adjustment in the bridge to lay the strings flat on the frets.

Hope someone here grabs it and it's a good one.

Post by: Basvarken on May 06, 2014, 01:45:06 PM: I've always been reluctant to sell these BaCHbirds of the last series with those silly armcuts.
I hated it when they came up with the "improvement". It just doesn't belong to a NR Tbird.
