Revisited this one today (forgot to take pics of what I did though, and it looks the same now it's back together).

The action, as I think I said, started off a little bit high, but over the last 2 months of playing it all the time, it got a bit worse. I played around with the truss rod today and after I made the neck flat the low E action was a shade over 3mm at 12th fret. I don't mind higher action, but that was a bit much. The bridge was already all the way down.

So I took the neck off, found some old veneer (or something - very thin wood, anyway) in the shed, and spent a couple of hours sanding a shim that goes from 1.5mm to (practically) nothing. It was a pain in the butt doing it by hand, but now that it's in, I've raised the bridge saddles a bit and fiddled round until it wasn't buzzing and wound up with a low E 12th fret action of a shade under 2mm, which is completely fine. Plenty of adjustment left both ways in the bridge now, and it's much nicer to play.

Good to hear H
