  1. The pieces were built by the same person, but no neck angle was used yet. I think the best option is to ask the local repair guy to try to remove the neck. Is this possible without damaging the parts? Then we can place a shim to raise the bridge and have the proper neck angle in. If I lowered the bridge to at least rest flat on the top, it saves a milimeter or 2, and helps ,but still isnt ideal. Thanks Andre
  2. Hey everyone. Im building a PRS style guitar for myself, and ran into some problems. I found the matched neck and body on ebay. I was gonna set the neck myself, paint and route out the pickups, etc. I was not getting the neck angle correctly, so I took the guitar and neck to a local guitar repair guy to set the neck and install the bridge posts. It turns out that he didnt make the angle steep enough, nor the neck high enough ( I sanded too far down the pocket, and the neck probably needed a shim to raise it). Now the neck is glued, and the posts are in, and when I did a preliminary check on the string action and such, it was totally off. I have included some pics for reference. The bridge is too high, and the neck is too low. What the heck can I do to save this awesome project>??? Id like to have the action normal, not a centimeter above the frets!!! The only thing I can think of is lowering the bridge by routing the holes deeper into the body. That wont save much but it could help. Any tips and help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Andre
