The bridge is actually parallel right now.



Here is some more tweeking i did... This is NOT through an amp. Just plane old guitar...


With my bridge all the way down as it was prior to this who procedure
=====================================================
There is fret buzz all the way up the neck, but it gets worse after about the 3rd fret. I can hear it a LITTLE in the amp when I play it clean.

With my bridge raised 1.5 turns
=====================================================
There is still a bit of buzz up the entire nect, not as bad. I can very bairly hear anything through the amp

With my bridge raised .5 turns
=====================================================
There is buzz up the neck, not as bad as all teh way down but not as good as with it raised 1.5 turns, can hear a little buzz. It actually sounds more like slap bass actually.







Now with POD x3 and headphones
=====================================================

I'm actually quit happy. This plays a little nicer now. Also, the strings feel so much better, brigther, cleaner sounding. I was skeptic when people said that you should change your strings often... Well, I have to admit, they DO need to be replaced. Those were the original strings I had on it when I bought it from the showroom. No idea how old those other strings were, or how many people had their grubbies on them. Or what crap they had on their hands... All I know is that new strings feel NICE!!!!



However, we will see... Gonna let it sit the way it is for now. Give it a week or two and see how I think about it. I may try to adjust the truss... But for now, I don't think so.
