Guitar Setup Challenge...Bridge Too High

Re: Guitar Setup Challenge...Bridge Too High

Just to make sure I understand it correctly: the excess finish in the neckpocket made the neck sit in a bad angle and that was the cause of the issues with thwe setup?

No, a bad setup caused the issues with the setup . I'm sure the finish in the neck pocket didn't help, but I honestly have no idea how much it hurt either. However, seeing that we're working with fractions of mm, getting everything at tight as possible is probably important.
