So I just put the strings on! and just in time too.
Sounds good as long as I play it in the first 7 frets unfortunately... So I know something is wrong, Anyone know how to fix this? I was also wondering about asking our local music store or there is a luthier close that I could ask as I am leaving soon.
Any ideas to fix this would be amazing... I'll post some photos after I try to fix this.
Put the strings on! and oops.

Re: Put the strings on! and oops.
First off - congratulations!
what happens above the 7th fret? buzzing?, intonation off?
What steps did you take to set it up? Let us know what your action is, string heights at the nut, neck relief specs are.

Re: Put the strings on! and oops.
I have a little buzzing above the 7th fret, Need to do some more leveling. But that's when the Intonation starts to go off. at the 12th fret Im looking at almost a whole note.
Well to set it up I followed the Stewmac book. Set my action a little Lower then they had, I'll have to go look again for the exact hight. as for the neck relief, kind of hard to tell. with the set up of the braces it's hard to adjust and not sure what the specs are.

What is the scale length and how did you locate the bridge? Measure nut to 12th and nut to center of the saddle for us. Was this a pre-slotted fretboard?

So, today I'm meeting with the local luthier and hopefully we can figure it out.
Also the scale length is 25 .4 inches
