Hey, just strung up the 'stang... Wee problem...

I had to jack up the bridge loads just so the strings would clear the frets.... And there's no shim in it at the moment...

Anyone else encountered this???

Cheers,

Anyone???

dude. let me see a picture of what you have going here.
a close up of the question area would be helpful.
Also, I think you should go lighter or darker on that finish, right now it screams USA

It could be a number of things:
- is the nut worn (when you fret at the 2nd is there still a gap between the strings and the 1st fret)?
- does the neck have a slight back bow (hold the D or G strings down at 1st and last - there should be a slight gap between the string and the 8th)?
- are your neck pocket and heel clean and original or do they look as if they've been tampered with?

Bingo. It's the nut... Cheers man!
