has 3 + 4 and this little tone monster was stripped it down completely and changed the rosewood mica to matte black . All parts have been cleaned and polished, a newer model Emmons S/C pickup at 19.7K installed, new legs from Don Burrows, and flocked the underside. Emmons setup with E's on the left. Asking $2250 shipped in the lower 48.

I don't mean to imply that there is anything wrong with the guitar persay. The guitar is probably a fine guitar.
Those four strings need some attention and looks like they should be better adjusted at the changer.
The culprits look to be the push rods for strings 4, 8 and 9.
I'm not sure what it is on string 6. There is no push rod on it and yet it is not lined up properly.
However, these, when adjusted right, could have a "domino" effect elswhere that would need to be adjusted also.
