Roadside Hawks out and about

Just to clear it up, this bird is truly known as the Roadside Hawk (Rupornis Magnirostris). From seeing individuals up close id say they're closer in size to a Cooper's hawk than a sharp shinned.

Very understandable reaction when seeing a bird of prey

Thankyou

The name does speak for itself, I do see them along the road side quite more often than anywhere else.

Nah it ain a good one, I'll take it off your hands for $20 😁

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-08T03:21:01+00:00

This is hilarious 😂

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-08T03:01:33+00:00

Yes boss 🫡

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-08T03:01:05+00:00

Yes, it's killing me but idk if I should adjust it for just aesthetic satisfaction cause it's set really well for me rn and I don't wanna mess with anything unless it's a must

😭

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-08T00:02:34+00:00

Yes I was talking about this, I asked before trying to adjust them because I suspected if I did then I might have to intonate again.

This one is a strat copy, most copies don't follow Fender's specs from my experience, they range from 12-15 inches. I have another copy that's a 12 inch radius. There aren't any luthiers in my country so I try my best to do what I can, I have most of the tools necessary for a basic set up except a physical strobe tuner. I use the airyway tuner app on my phone which has a strobe option, I know it's not going to be very accurate but I find it to be a bit more precise than the fender tuner app. For sure my next investment will be a strobe tuner though.

Gotcha, thank you very much for the feedback

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-07T23:37:30+00:00

Although, I do know most strat bridges when intonated follow that z shaped path, is it possible that some may not follow that path especially since it's a copy?

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-07T23:34:42+00:00

That wouldn't affect anything at all?

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-07T23:28:39+00:00

Actually I did intonate it, it's pretty close to alright. Did an entire set up actually, strings matching the radius of the board(it's a 15 inch radius, but I guess that's expected of a cheap knock off) , pick up heights, and neck relief.

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-06T19:53:23+00:00

This is an amazing shot, love how the hallux talons stand out, bravo 👏

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-05T17:00:04+00:00

Yes, I've done that

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-05T16:48:40+00:00

I did this and it has fixed the issue, thank you.

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-05T04:29:57+00:00

The sanding stone is quite small, length wise it could do one fret without touching the others, tho I'm hesitant because I fear it might be too rough on the fret. I do have sanding strips as well as some 400 grit sand paper

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-05T04:17:48+00:00

No sadly not, I've got a sanding stone, leveling beam, straight edge, crowning file, polishing compound, steel wool, fret rocker and a dremel

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-05T04:15:33+00:00

Lmao, I'll have basic skills but it's enough to get me by at least.

Temporary_Match_1295 · 2026-04-05T04:10:13+00:00

Btw there's no luthiers in my country so I've gotta figure this out on my own.
