The low E on my 1960 time machine is hanging a little too close to the edge of the fretboard, enough that it makes for a little unplaisant playing experience, if I'm not careful.<br /> <br /> The problem doesn't seem to be in the saddles, what would you guys consider, nut or neck alignment?<br /> <br /> What can I do about it?<br /> <br /> thanks |

Undo the four neck screws a little, and then gently nudge or push the neck sideways towards the treble side. When the strings are aligned, tighten the screws up again.<br /> It will help to detune the guitar a little while you do this, as it will lessen the tension on the neck and screws. |

Cheers, that did the trick... thanks! |
