Can I have some opinions on what has happened here? Yesterday I re-strung my guitar with Hannabach 827 HTs (I understand this brand is quite "high" tension compared to others). Previously it was strung with Luthier MT. Immediately the action is a full millimetre higher at the 12th fret, more like a classical action, and compared to my lowest strung classical guitar, it is actually higher at the 7th fret! Could the neck be bowing under the tension? At first I was worried that the bridge was lifting, some of the glue behind it is visible, but I've seen worse. The soundboard itself is pretty much flat, including behind the bridge in both directions/axes. Naturally I'm pretty worried that I'll be damaging the guitar if I leave these strings on, so any advice is gratefully received. Now, having de-tuned the strings, the action remains high, so I'm pretty confused...
