So I'm assembling my build and it's got a non recessed floyd route (angled pocket) and I'm using an OFR. When I installed the bridge and strung it up I noticed the action is unplayably low, it's touching the frets everywhere. In order to get the action playable, the bridge needs to be raised to where the bridge posts are almost halfway out of their bushings, which means A) its floating which i do not want, and B) the posts are going to experience much more torque than they should which is going to oval the post holes in no time at all.
The culprit of the problem seems to be that the neck pocket is angled too much actually. Say the pocket was angled at 1.5° with a tolerance of 0.5°, that is 1.5±0.5°, then mine must be at the limit so that the pocket is nearer to 2°. I've already installed some components so I doubt i can refund the body. Has anyone experienced a problem like this in the past? Was warmoth able to offer a solution?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
