johnny1982 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 As far i know (owned an Emperor 5), it can't be adjusted to 18mm spacing. The thing is - you should be able to move the outer two strings (g and b) 2 milimeters towards eachother to achieve 18mm, which is not possible due to the saddle width.

It's hard, but it's worth the wait. Reason for this happening, is the wood expanding faster than the finish, leaving it no time to adapt, and then the finish cracks. It's only cosmetic damage in the finish but a shame to have.. Fodera's satin finish are very sensitive to this Just thought people should know more about this to avoid it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
