Location: Florida, USA		Any advice on how to get the action lower? The Bridge doesn't leave enough room to lower the saddle without it sitting on the bridge itself.

Thanks

Location: Utah		Presumably you've adjusted the truss rod properly and the nut height is ok. Correct?

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA		Hi, Everyone,
Is there a shim under the saddle? Your owner's manual may mention this. I usually have my guitar tech remove it. This lowers the action about 1/16th". It could save a whole new neck re-set.

Location: Utah		'05 guitar shouldn't need a neck reset. Can you post pictures? Action at the nut, 6th fret, 12th fret, and the saddle.

It should be a bolt on neck. Perhaps a bolt is loose.
