Technically this is how it's supposed to be so your setup is probably perfecto right now. You want there to be a hair of that "fallaway" in the upper register because the string excursion increases the closer you get to the end of the neck.antonius wrote:(the action at the 20th fret is only fractionally higher than at the 12th fret and I've still got room to lower the bridge a bit if I needed to)
