Hi guys, just started a dry build of my PRS-1HG, it’s the first guitar I’ve tried to build myself so I’m not 100% sure what I’m doing. I’m having some problems, I’ve positioned the neck in what looks to be the right position, but the measurement from the neck to the 12th fret is 4-5mm less than the measurement from the 12fret to the bridge. On this Guitar the bridge is fixed so I can’t move it any closer to the 12th fret and if I move the neck closer to the bridge I’ll block the gap for the pickup. Any suggestions? See photos attached for how I think the neck should be positioned and where it would have to be positioned for the measurements to be equal (but would block the pickup location).
Also the bridge has a very tight fit with the bolts it fits to, should I try and file more slack in these parts? Or grease them? See photo attached.
