high E near edge

terjag

My high E string sits about 1/30 of an inch from the edge of the fretboard. Is this normal? If I move the string closer to the B string the E string would sit on the B string saddle. I can play on the E string. It is that if the string moves any wear near the edge of the fretboard it falls off.

I have 11 to 50 for the strings. I plan on a set of 10-46. The 11's are blobby. I was wondering while putting on the 11's, Is the string tension too tight for the fretboard. Do you think it could warp or damage the truss rod?

Thanks

is it the stock bridge?

jap issue? parts caster? vintage?

I've had this when the neck is off line (parts guitar). A good way to check is if the dot inlays are centre to the G and D strings all the way down the neck. It can be corrected.

Could be just the bridge like Rob said though.

I have a new 09 62 reissue Everything stock. By the way, What size are the bridge height adjusting screws? I thought one would be included with the string height screws.

I mean what size allen head wrench for the bridge posts and what size wrench for the height adjustment screws? I could use a spare in case one gets lost Could 11-50 be too tight for the jag? would this size ruin the truss rod or fretboard?

Thanks

Playing sh*tty will ruin a neck quick 😆

No, it'll add a few more lbs of pressure. Check on the back of your string packaging, it tells you (around 100 lbs). You can compare it to other strings to give you an idea. May have to adjust your truss rod to accomendate... but you should be checking/adjusting this as routine maintance anyways.

Didn't catch what type of guitar/neck it was... could be a badly spaced nut, or misaligned neck/pocket.

The neck is stock. The jag is a month old.
