I've had my 1987 X-170 for a few weeks now, and I've had mixed feelings about it. It's a very well built guitar, great sound, looks beautiful, but I can't seem to get the action low enough (bridge is bottomed out) or feeling "right" and I'm having trouble understanding why exactly.
It kind of hit me last night while playing it - it feels like the radius of the bridge is not the same as the radius of the fretboard.
I don't have tools to back this up, but before I go down this rabbit hole, has anyone heard of this before on Guilds? I know it's VERY common on Gretsch guitars and that most serious players upgrade those bridges to one where the bridge radius matches the fretboard radius.
