This is my first post and this is the first day that i've ever seen Jemsite.com. This site is great!!!
Anyway, i wich i've seen it before... that's my story. Last week i bought a new Jem 7VWH. It had very high action (3mm @ low E and 2.5mm @ high E, both 24th fret). Based on the manul that came with the guitar, i just loosened the bridge stud set screw on each stud a few complete turns (maybe 2 complete turns) and then i adjusted the bridge heigh all way until i had 0.000000001 mm! Then, i raised the bridge until all the major buzz dissapeared and i snuged the bridge stud set screws. After that, i discovered that i had major buzz in some spots, so the same process went over and over, until i got the action.
Now, my problem is that i'm only reading some posts now that say that you should remove the bridge when you're making some major adjustements in the bridge (like lowering the height from 3mm to 0.5mm) in order to avoid wear of the knive edge. In other post i read that if you're doing minor adjustements, say, change action from 2.1 mm to 2.0 mm you shouldn't remove the bridge.
But my adjustments were major adjustements! This is my first Jem and i tried to lower the bridge heigh almost to 0mm, just to see how would it feel. Then raised it, then lowered, then raised, etc, you got the point. So i'm a little afraid that i've made some damage to the knive edge doing this... also, i just loosened the bridge stud set screw on each stud maybe 2 complete turns counterclockwise... it all works fine, but i'm so afraid that i wear the knive edge... and that's a BAD feeling when you just got your brand new Jem 5 days ago...
Thanks.
