Everybody deserves a friend like you

Thanks guys, he was genuinely taken aback. Fingers crossed they'll be married when things are a bit safer.

So my brother in law is on cloud nine because some guy played and scribbled on his guitar.

From what I can gather he said the intonation is off. Which we knew, the bridge is a bit too forward or back can't remember. But quo aren't exactly known for the dusty end so we didn't stress too much about that.
The most important thing is that he is elated with it. He did ask to play it before the meet and greet so I'd be interested to hear what he thinks. I was told it was a look of surprise and a bit emotional.

Wow, but can the intonation be that far off? It looks to have reasonable room for saddle movement.

Not sure tbh. It was put together before I was confident enough to do my own setups. I trust my mate who did it. Can't remember how the strings go through the bridge. If setting them back snags them etc. 
I think the guitar is more of a showpiece than something he plays. He has a prs se and a classic player strat which he prefers. I'm just happy he's in love with it. So much shite going on today its nice to see something positive for once

The album is considerably better than the single

Best period of Quo IMO. I do like the more well-known boogie-rock stuff as well, but some of the earlier psychedelic stuff is fantastic.
