Hello All. First post here. Below are some photos of my Epi Les Paul. Bought it used, but it's not old. Maybe 3 years.
After fighting with my bridge height, nut and having the guitar frets "worked" by a music shop I'm still have a terrible time with fret buzz and dead spots with certain frets.
After showing it to a buddy who has far more experience that I he said the neck angle looked wrong. What say you?

One photo shows the neck height at about 6mm (w/ ruler) off the body at it's end.
Another shows the neck as it lays on the body and you can see the black line below the white binding getting thicker as it gets closer to the pickup.
The last image shows the ruler laying flat on the body which highlights the neck angle.
Does all this look normal? Is 6mm too high? My pickups are screwed all the way out to get anywhere near the strings.
But if I lower the bride or nut, the strings are far to close to the fret board.
Thank you,
Bill
