Yesterday, after restringing my JP6, I noticed that the right part of the bridge was in a higher position than the left part...
I can't remember if it already was like that when I bought it, so is it supposed to be like that or should the right and left part be "equally high" ?

I have to adjust this screw to make it level with the body, right ?

Thanks !

Its a matter of feel/taste etc. If you like, even the posts. You may need to re-tweak the action of either the wound strings or the unwound depending on whether you raise one side to make it even or lower one side to make it even.

My JP bridge posts are even. I prefer to adjust string height individually with the saddles.

From looking at your pics, Id lower the treble side down a hair to match the wound strings but again you might have to totally re-adjust the strings for buzzing etc

If you bought the gtr used or from a dealer it was probably tweaked by someone. The factory set ups are really very good.
