KenC wrote:Congrats on the inbound Invader. I have recently become a big fan of the late '80s yellow finish. You'll need a couple of other Leo-era solid colors to set next to it. Right now my yellow L-2K is on a stand next to the blue SC-3 in my avatar. They look even better together than they do separately. It's never too early to start planning for the next G&L (or two)...
I have owned over two dozen three-bolt G&Ls, and only one needed a tilt adjustment. Just follow the factory setup instructions in the Gallery (I think the file is in with the 1980-1981 manuals). Basically, it's a matter of adjusting the truss rod (if needed) for relief, and then raising or lowering the saddles to get the action you want. The tilt only comes into play if the action is still too high with the saddles bottomed out. Like I said, I have only seen that once in over two dozen instruments. In that one case, it was very obvious that the truss rod and saddle heights alone weren't getting the job done.
No ideas on the fine tuner. I haven't experienced one of them yet.

Wow, that guitar looks sweet
it's a bright turquoise Badcat. If i play the Invader and the blue amp out in the sun it will require sunglasses.

Someday you'll have to check the neck pocket to see if you can nail it down for sure.
