I just measured the space between the 1fret and the sting with the capo on the second fret. The Strat: 0.1mm (probably 0.08mm it’s tight for a 0.1mm but not so much) Acoustic: can’t even fit my thinnest filler gauge (0.05mm) JP 0.06ish Edit: I’m wondering if the frets are the culprit shouldn’t...

Thanks TBurst, Interesting I didn’t know the JP is asymmetrical. The Taylor is probably not asymmetrical I think the neck shape might not be the culprit. I do know the frets on this W Strat are significantly larger than most of my other guitars, maybe that could be the cause? Will do the...

Yeah make sense.

Copy that, I will give a try. This seems like a good direction am heading towards.

Compare to my acoustic

I don’t know if this helps, but this shows the nut slots height.

Thanks for chiming in! Will do hold on a sec.

Thanks, that is very helpful info. It’s an unfinished fretboard, I’m not most comfortable in doing it myself, will ask my guy do it for me. The nut slots situation is a relatively easier fix so will start there! One question, would you recommend getting a new nut, or should I just deepen the...

Yes, you are right! It’s a partscaster. I will go ask my tech to get the slots lower. TLC I think warmoth cut their slots base on the size of the frets. (Completely judging from experience) Since I had a 59 round back with 6150 frets, and the slots are much lower on that neck compared to the...

Hey Hodgo thanks for the follow up, and investing your time in this. Yes a heavier gauge with half step tuned down (Eb). Now I think the string gauge is out of the equation. I think regarding specs the following is what I can tell. Nut width is the same JP 1-11/16 Strat1-11/16 Action: almost...

Thanks mate. That’s what I was wondering as well, could it be the way that the guitar sit or should I say the way it relates to my body? It’s more of a ergonomic issue maybe? I’ll check it and get the measurements.

Hey Ned, that is very helpful and encouraging information. I will be going to the local shop later this week. I have some data on what electrics I can play for now, I can play Musicman JP models (JP6and majesty)all day long and no pain whatsoever, they are really therapeutic in a sense to my...

Thank you for sharing. It doesn’t hurt to try stringjoy, I might order one set and see how it feels. I don’t use balanced set, I use either daddario or Ernie all 9-42 on my Strat. On the string alignment thing, I made sure to align the neck with the string as best as I could, by loosing the...
