Well, I successfully stringed up and intonated the Epi NR Tbird a buddy brought me from NYC last month. Took a little time because I've never done it before but it was a) fun, b) interesting, c) successful! I appreciate all the help you guys offered on intonation. It was perfect!
That said, I put Le Bella flats on her and she sounds GREAT! She has a really nice, deep, rich sound but still has a little bit of grit. I'm really happy with the way she sounds but I were surprised though because it looked like someone like the one owner before me) had used her as an axe.
The edges of the body are really beat: I mean down to the bare wood. Some of the frets are worn, but oddly, the back and front of the body are nice and the neck/headstock are pretty sweet. Weird.
