krazyderek Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 wer're going to need a bit more of a description, is it the actual saddles height? the action of each individual string? when was the last time the guitar was restrung? is there buzzing on the neck if so where, or is the action just to hight?

weezerboy Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 restrung recently....but longer ago than the problem...no buzzing..just the individual string heights are shitty and they didn't used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo328 Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 When was the last time you checked your truss rod adjustment. Difference in seasons will make the neck act differently. Same deal if its been put through extreme temperature or moisture changes. Check out the tutorials on the main page for the guitar set-up and see if that helps. Make sure to check out the neck to and make sure everythings O.K. If the truss rod adjustment is real tight but the action is still not better, don't force it, you'll ruin the neck and/or the rod.......Not that I would know from experience or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted December 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 already checked looking down the length of the neck..everything is how it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 My guess is the TOM is put on Backwards. ie. low E side where the high E is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 maybe the tom bent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezerboy Posted December 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 but just in case..how can i tell if the tom is on backwards? bent? i tune to Bb most of the time so very unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryeisnotcool2 Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 the tom bridge saddles screws should be facing the neck for it to be in correctly.(if that dont work throw it in the trash, its an ibanez) just kiddin, use it as a smash guitar on stage!
