You could also have a bow in the neck...
True too , I tried adjusting to the left with my allenwrench.

With a tune o matic bridge, the saddles adjust for intonation only. If you want to change the height of the string (aka “action”) you adjust the two large thumbwheels
It sounds likely that you have some low/high frets
OK YES , So the real bottom the 2 large nuts , i do have every thing flat , Also seems like the Frets are just fine instead of the neck.

AGREED , It was a DIY KIT , it's pretty darn good , I just got to do a weird finger twitch for 1 Chord at the moment.
Could I shave a Fret Down ?

Everything is back to normal just only not the CHORD I just talked about. I am wondering if the string size I have at the moment is too easy to mute ?
I will find out tonight when I stick bigger strings on the spot I am talking about HAHA.

OK UPDATE , Here's the deal with the issue I had with playing.
Seems like I can do everything now the same way I would normally do on my Stratocaster expect for 1 thing.
The A Bar Chord. the chord that is this.
e 0
b 2
g 2
d 2
a 0
e x
With my stratocaster I can seriously lay my middle finger flat and be able to pick all that ,
With my firebird , It's almost like I got to do a quick finger peel off before and after hitting the B & e.
On my stratocaster I always used ERNIE BALL , The 009 Size.
I'm wondering if a different size set is a better match ?

HI I built my own FIREBIRD and I am having trouble with B and e Strings , their is times where it sounds like I got it Palm Muted but thats not the case and seems like anything from FRET 9 and up to like 20th etc. Everything else is cool , I have all the saddles pressed upwards even height , I am wondering if B and e need their own special positioning ?

I did a little bit of trust rod turning , it all seems pretty good to me , I just bought a new GUITAR NUT , I am convinced the GBE Slots are not deep enough , I also bet everything is not spaced enough either. I think its just a junk guitar nut. THE GBE Slots almost look the same size etc.
