A great little modification that seems to work

It seems to me that pulling the neck closer to the body is going to affect the intonation of the guitar, if only slightly, and a bridge adjustment will be necessary to compensate for the change in distance between the frets and the bridge. Each bridge saddle should be moved back toward the tail end of the guitar by whatever distance the neck moved to maintain the same fret-to-bridge distance.

Well spotted, 64... yes I DID need to tweak the intonation a little after doing this! Thanks chaps! Glad you found it as useful as I did

I can't help thinking, when you do this, when tightening up the 4 screws on the back again, would it be wise to not turn them as tight as they were before, as tightening them back to they way they were before the neck will attempt to go back to the same position as before. Although I understand the process and understand the neck may have shifted permanently by a fraction, maybe just doing those screws not quite as tight as before would aid the process??
