Pick, I love the shape of this one but it needs more pickups ;)

Long as the fretwork is good, a shim should open up the playing field. Even with bad frets you can lower it as much as they allow.

What does the bridge look like? Might be a cheap floating bridge from allparts may be a way to cange it up.

hey  seth  .  hard to  tell  without   detailed  pics  ,  but alot of folks   use these old guits as  sliders  and  convert them  .  if your *action  is that  high,  and  neck  is still  good  , and you  cabt  go  lower  ,  i  suspect  someone  put  a higher  bridge  on  for sliding . (or to  compensate  for  a buggered  up  neck  or  frets  .)

try a  lower  bridge  . or even  a  temporary screw  or  eye    bolt  etc as a  bridge    before   taking things apart  .

Paul, in short both are bad. I suspect that fixing string hight will go a long way with the intonation. I will see if I can find some decent shim material and go from there. Thanks!

Intonation or string height is bad or both? Shimming the neck is doable. If you need a bridge, there are some Asian made bridges out there with the same spacing or close. take some measurements and do some searches.

Hey guys! Been a while since I was on the forum as I have been all busy making music! Anyway, I just picked up an old Kent branded guitar and it needs a little work and thought I would ask for some ideas. The intonation is real real bad, as in super high. I am un able to adjust the plastic bridge enough to get the strings low or the 12 fret anywhere close to in tune. Neck seems fairly good though. Does anyone have some ideas for how to shim the neck or adjust the guitar to make it so I can play it along side my beloved Danelectro?

So I took my guitars on the road this weekend and sold three at a music festival in Grafton Ontario. Along with my own personal builds I also brought along a Teisco that I refurbished last year. Originally found abandoned in a snowbank, I stripped the nasty looking blue enamel and sanded it back to bare plywood, reset the intonation and crafted a new pickguard with all new electronics from CBGitty. Here it is in action on the Slow Lane Music booth:
