Congrats on the new logo. It's an easy thing to get wrong, but yours looks fantastic and classy. Definitely a good move for building your brand too. Agree with the sentiment that it's great to see fretboarders doing well. Looking forward to seeing the new guitars. All the best.

I'm still very fond of the coin, the logo is the next step though
I'm putting a hologram of my face on the back of the headstock of the 2020 models......

I have a couple of vintage Specials (56 single cut and a 60 DC) and would more than happy to have one of your Juniors as part of the crew, I even sourced an Aussie penny from 1959 for the head stock. Just a shame my Braz rosewood source fell through
So this gave an average position of the stud holes then the bridge would be intonated to suit, hence why some vintage examples have the bridge grub screws wound right out/in to achieve intonation.
As a side note, a particular anomaly I've found on 1956 TV Yellow guitars, be it Junior or Special, only TV Yellow colour and only in the year 1956, is that the bridge holes are not in the right place. Of all the '56 TV yellow guitars i've personally handled (bar one) the bass or treble stud hole has been moved and re-drilled to achieve proper intonation. I'm sure they are not ALL like that but certainly the one's i've handled have been.
Here's a quick run through of the latest '59 DC Special:

I've got one of the MojoAxe compensated wraparounds on one of my guitars and the grub screws had to be wound right in to get the intonation right, so most of the bridge is hanging out of the studs - a bit like the picture from their own site below. It works fine but I don't like the way it looks.
Hence why I position each of mine individually, I could make a 'T' (It'd be MUCH quicker) but i'd be introducing the same problems as some of the originals have and, while mine may be accurate, only an idiot copies the mistakes too!
Thanks @hoops, much appreciated!
