The A and E strings at the first fret don't hold a 0.46mm (0.018") pick, and the strings are a mile off the board at the 7th and 12th frets.When I say a mile that's an exaggeration. I can fit a 1.2mm (0.0472"/just over 3/64ths) pick at the 7th fret and it's a few hairs off touching. At the 12th fret it's at least 1.66mm/0.0783".
As for the bridge, I need to take the strings off and sand that don't I? The shop clearly did some set up but I feel like I need to do it all over for them.
This is my first mando and it would be fun to get it perfect myself (I have the e-book from Mr. Meldrum) but I thought it best to get your opinions.
I'm sorry for the orientation of the images, they get rotated for some reason.
