    Not at all the guitar is intonated and set up fantastically. The breakover point would be the front edge of the old nut. With the LSR the breakover point is the ball bearings which are set back. Look at the size of the piece of rosewood used to compensate it is the exact thickness of how far back the ball bearings are set. I can not stress how well this guitar sounds and plays. I would imagine you had intonation problems because you did not take this piece of the nut's design into consideration when you installed it.

      No, I definitely took that into consideration when I put it on my guitar. I made that comment because what I think I'm seeing in that pic is a small sliver of rosewood behind AND in front of the roller nut.

        Maybe he just stuck the bit of rosewood he trimmed off, or indeed s different piece of rosewood, between the new nut and the tuners to hide the wood underneath?
