JEM7DBK nut/bridge radius differs from neck radius ?!?!

[jemoctave]

2001 JEM7DBK, as new, all seems original parts

The radius of the neck seems to be slightly tighter than the radius of the nut & bridge.

This means the action is lower on the centre d & g strings, and higher on the E strings.

It is consistant over the whole neck.

The action is very low and the guitar is working fine except for this apparent radius difference. The difference at the nut is the E strings are approx 0.5mm higher off the frests than the D & G strings.

I urgently request advise if this is normal or not? It does seem very strange.

Thanks

I go through about 1000 saddle shims a year, and considerring I've had to make them for the last 3 months I'm about to pull all my hair out!

Sorry Rich but I don't understand a word of that

Normal...that's why Rich uses so many shims...he works on a lot of guitars and they need to be shimmed

Do I have to get down on my knees like Dave does to Steve when he takes a hold of Steve's lower neck and goes up and down it?

This is normal with lots of brands. The nuts & bridges only come in certain radii, and the variation in necks is much greater. My one Carvin neck is the same way, which was one reason I chose a real nut with locking tuners on my latest one.
