Hi

Just picked up my 6 week old Les Paul and noticed the top E is fouling
on the upper frets and not ringing. It's been in its case laying flat
for a couple weeks under the bed...

Not sure if I should start fiddling with neck adjustment and surely
raising the bridge will throw the string height and radius out... any
ideas?

Thanks

Mark


On a tunematic Les Paul bridge you can't "throw" the radius out.

It's fixed.

If he really wants true radius, what would happen if he just raised the low E side? Plus, what about intonation? (rhetorical, to make a point)

One way or another, the guitar needs a setup. Bought at a shop with a decent tech? Take it back. No free setup available, and owner knows what he's doing? Self setup. Otherwise, bring it in to a good luthier.
