So I have one of the new MIJ CUNIFE traditionals in black. FANTASTIC guitar. NGD thread https://offsetguitars.com/forums/viewt ... 7#p1803287
Decided to upgrade to a Staytrem bridge. Also excellent. Installed it no problem.
I feel now, however, that the action is much lower on the guitar and the low E is playable but it is right on the edge of lying on the frets.
Any tips here?
I've seen some vids with studs under the bridge, but it doesn't sit like that in this model. And the Staytrem is exactly the same size or height as the standard Fender bridge.
New Staytrem but action too low?

Have you adjusted the grub screws in the bridge posts? You can drop an Allen key down the bridge posts and tighten the grub screws there which shall raise the bridge height.

Raising the Staytrem (obviously) worked! I am an idiot! Thanks for the help.
