Played my new Trans blue Axis last night at band practice! Amazing guitar, the only thing I noticed was it was a bit difficult to grab and bend the high E string. It seems the high E string is a bit close to the fretboard, consequently hard to get my finger under it to bend notes! Can I just slightly raise the post on the bridge to cure this!
Thanks
 
Music Man website specs(hope this helps):
"Factory string setting for standard tuning starts at the bass side 2/32" (1.59 mm) to 5/64" (1.98 mm) and the treble side is 3/64" (1.19 mm) to 2/32" (1.59 mm) measured from the 12th fret to the bottom of the strings. The top of the strings should have the radius of the fretboard when you are looking at the strings in the playing position and by rotating the instrument while at the same time bringing strings into view one at a time. Remember, string height is ultimately determined by your preference and playing style."
