Neck issue?

[Dutch]

A couple of weeks ago I bought a used Luke II and I have a question about it.
When I press the low E string at the first and 17th fret I can put a (thin) business card underneath the string at the 12th fret.
When I do the same thing with the high E string I can't slide any piece of paper underneath the string.
When I did put a new set of strings on the Luke and all the strings were removed, I put a ruler over the neck and noticed a difference in height (at the 12th fret) between the high and low E string area as well.
Is this normal? I do experience string buzz on the E and B string from the 9th fret and higher and not on the G, D etc. The action is quite high.
Anything I can do about this?

extremly hard to put any diagnostic my friend, as I can see by you psudo you are form NL so try to contact the local distributor he might be able to help you

if the Luke is no more under warranty try to find a good Luthier (I know one in Amsterdam if you need)

Sounds to me like you may need a fret dress/saddle adjustment. Not a big job for a good tech.

Diagnosing at a distance is difficult in most cases, particularly in this one where I can think of a few possibilities. If it's used and you have no warranty, get a good guitar technician or luthier to look at it. As always, Music Man customer service are there to help too.

DrKev,

I tried to send you a private message, but your mailbox seems to be full.

(Note to self, "sent" items should be cleaned out too!)
