ISSUE with JPX string alignment?

[barolodream]

Hey guys! First post here but I have a question that I'll do my best to explain. I was checking out my JPX and i noticed that the low E string gets closer to the edge of the fretboard as I look further up the neck. Conversely, the high e string gets slightly further from the edge of the fretboard. The only thing I can think of is that the trem cavity could be milled at a slightly bad angle. I looked at a couple other JP's and didn't notice it. Any ideas?

Take a pic and itll be easier to know whats happening. Are the knife edges properly aligned on the poles?
Customer service would be the most helpful anyway.

Contact Customer Service and talk to them about it. That's what they are there for.

The most common cause of this is due to manufacturing tolerances in the neck pocket dimensions and the dimensions of the neck itself, there is occasionally a little "wiggle" room in the fit of the neck in the pocket. It's something that can happen to any bolt-on neck guitar. The fix is usually to loosen the neck bolts, pull the neck into the position that fixes the string alignment and hold it there while re-tightening the neck bolts.

Of course if it doesn't cause you any problems while playing, you can leave things as they are.
