charlie brown Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Did you change string guages? Is it more or less "humid" weather wise...cooler or hotter? All will effect the neck. Might have to adjust the truss rod, slightly? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlpineX2 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was looking at some guitar pictures and the bridge part of the guitar at the bottom, not the part the strings go into but the part right above it, it was even and I notice it was higher for the low e strings and lower for the high strings... I'm still a noob but does that make scense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TOM is slightly slanted parallel from the tailpiece to accomodate intonation. Or did you mean heightwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Sounds like time to take it to your local guitar shop for a "set up". Won't cost much, ($30 in my area) and saves many headaches. Be sure to tell the tech. what gauge strings you want on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
