    Neck angle issue?

    Hi all,

    I've recently unearthed my first pitbull build and have been playing around trying to make it playable. When I first put it together the neck angle on it seemed incorrect, which resulted in my string action being really high.

    I tried to rectify this by carefully sanding down the neck pocket to alter the neck angle thus lowering the strings.

    Since doing that the action is far too low (buzzing on open notes) but the neck angle seems to be where it should be.

    This is pretty hard to explain as I don't really know all the correct terminology or the normal angles/measurments etc so I hope these photos make it a little clearer to understand what I'm getting at...

    This first photo is before I tried to adjust anything.
