First build issues

Hey gents, I've finally strung my first build. I made the fret board flush with the top of the box, following some of the builds I watched on youtube. Now that its strung the action is really high. Now I see why a raised fret board is so common. My bridge is not how I envisioned but my plan would make the action ridiculous. I have tried to tune it to GDG but it doesn't sound right. Not that I have anything to compare it to. I lowered the action a bit and it's better but not right yet. How can I tell whats wrong with it? 

any advice would be appreciated

  • A pic or 2 might give someone a few ideas to help you with, try to get one at least, from side on so we can view the neck/bridge/nut relationship
