Hi guys,
Built a frankenstein telecaster, put it all together, got the nut sanded down to a nice height, adjusted truss rod so its about .010" at the 8th fret, set my action to about 1.6mm on all strings and when bending on high e string it chokes on some frets passed the 12th fret if i do a full bend. For arguments sake, my pickguard is 2.6mm thick and im using a 22fret neck, so had to shim the front of the neck pocket with washers to allow my bridge saddles to go high enough
Things iv tried:
Raising action to 2mm - this made it slightly better but she still choked even if it was an improvement.
Made sure the neck pocket was even with no slants, even tried adding an extra washer to one side to rule out a pocket issue.
Reaching out to my fellow community here, any ideas? This is the 4th guitar iv built and never had issues like this :S
