Hey guys, I have a H-S-S strat with a hum and two sc-sized hums. I just noticed that the two single sized hums are way out of alignment with the strings on the guitar. I dont know if it has been this way all of the time or if it just happened, but I need some suggestions. The Low E and the A line up great, the D is about 1/16 off, the G is at the edge of the pole, and the B and high E are a good 1/8 of an inch away from the center of the pole. I mean, the B and high E arn't even over the poles at all!!
I need help!
Info on the guitar- warmoth neck (satin coat), squire body (basswood) and bridge, C-5 hum (lines up great, NOT F-spaced), lil 59 and JB Jr (don't line up), I put the parts together myself.
I have no idea what is going on with it or how to fix it, I do know that it is affecting the tone- I've always noticed the highs have been way low on the two SC sized hums, but I almost always use the C-5 so I didn't give it any thought (I've also been playing mostly acoustic since I put it together so it hasn't been played alot)
I was thinking that the bridge could be the problem because it is the import squire size, ,but the C-5 lines up great and it's the closest to the bridge, I would guess it's the nut next, but it was cut by warmoth for the neck and it looks great, so then I wasthinking it's probably the neck was warped, but I can find any sign of that. Another thought was that it could be the bridge AND the fact the C-5 isn't F-spaced (the reason it lines up, and the others dont) but I don't think that's it. I don't know, PLEASE HELP!
