gub Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have this problem on my jazz where the G string goes over the edge of the board when i am digging in at gigs. it seems to be from around the 7th fret , have added a couple of pics for reference, had a brass nut made which you can see here and wondering if the slot is a bit too far over or maybe its probs at the bridge end ? what you think?

mart Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Pics would help, but if the problem is only from the 7th up, then it's surely the bridge. Have you got grooved saddles where you can just lift the string into a different groove closer to the D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldG Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Does the E string come 'into' the fretboard by the same amount, by any chance? If so, you can loosen the neck screws and alter the neck/body join angle to suit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
