If that's still the action after the neck has settled in, then that's pretty decent. Preferred action depends on playing style. I have a pretty heavy right hand, so I like my action higher than this.
I think the photo angle on the fifth photo may be throwing off the perceptions of the action...it doesn't look as high in the 4th photo.
Nice job on the build!
Thanks Eric...It has been strung up for 2 weeks now and the action remains at .050/.035. Besides both sons playing it for a weekend, a few of my OLF friends put it through its paces in Toronto last weekend. They're old rockers who definitely would have complained about high action if they thought it compromised playability. In addition to being laminated, the neck also has 2 CF rods so I know it's stiff and hopefully stable. As you know, I do far more acoustics than electrics so there are a lot of nuances that I'm learning here. Thanks for your help.
