Gecko -> O.K. I'm Confused-Help!! (May 13 2006 11:45:08)

Re. Old Negra Project. I need some help figuring out what is going on. I have essentially done a neck re-set using a Fingerboard Wedge and it worked out well, or so I initially thought. I can now get the action set to around 3mm at the 12th, or even lower, I have the right string height at the nut, etc, etc, the neck is very straight and I made a temporary saddle out of stiff cardboard cut to about 2mm above the bridge slot so it could be lowered a little if desired. However, the string spacing between the soundboard and the strings at the bridge is still about 11mm. What do I have to do to get the get the string height at the bridge down to the 7-9mm range while maintaining a 3mm action at the 12th? The old bridge on the guitar is 9.5-10mm high at the saddle slot (even after an earlier shaving), and again I have 2mm of saddle above the bridge. If I go to a new 7mm bridge that would obviously lower the string height at the bridge, but it would also have an effect on the action at the 12th. Have I screwed up the neck angle? Help!!
