Glued neck in. big problems

[stan]

just so i understand:
if you were to fret a note, at say the third fret, the string would bottom out on one of the higher frets and not sound the note?

I see the problem: tidy your room!

didnt attempt fret level they are level i checked, the bridge is already for for the neck cause it bottoms out :') i measured at the 7th and 9th fret guys and no shim. i thought it would be good to just smack in their

How did you come to the conclusion that the frets are level? What process did you go through to determine that your neck is dead straight?

[Aidan7250]

made a leveler that i wiggle over 3 frets at a time to see if any were not level and they were level.

it would be my guess that it is a neck angle problem.
This is assuming that the neck is not bowed, the frets are level, the nut has no issues.

if you run a straight edge along the length of the neck starting at the first fret, down the middle of the neck, where does it contact the bridge?
It should be just on the bridge saddles.

If it goes above the saddles by much, you neck angle is too much, and I think this may be the issue - your stings would bottom out on higher frets.

You could use a steel ruler on edge, or a decent spirit level to check, string would be off or out of the way

Shit I dunno brother, if your necks straight and your frets are level it must be something else. Maybe your strings are crooked.

since the bridge is adjustable, start by using the straight edge and adjusting the bridge height so it just touches....

this is what you are after, also another way to check all frets are level:
