New Guitar Day! With annoying problem...

[roodyrocker]

Having to level the frets is not the norm on a USA Jackson. Most often its a simple setup that is needed for your climate. Usually as others have stated its a truss rod adjustment or bridge height or a combination of the two. An experienced tech should be able to set it up to your liking. I would think a fret leveling is not likely needed.

Yeah, I'm going to look into having a tech set it up.
Thanks for all your help, I love this thing!

£800 is a good deal, and you just need to put it through a setup by the sounds of it.

[kurney]

Yeah, I think now it's only really a problem on the E string, especially at the 5th fret, so I'll try and find a tech and see what he thinks.

Try loosening the truss rod 1/4 turn and see if it gets better. It sounds like the neck doesn't have enough relief to me. If it gets better then loosen it till it fixes it, but only in 1/4 turn increments. I've had this problem before and thats how I got rid of it.

Thanks a lot mate.
