Where is that speedo pic
Also the crossed out numbers in the neck cavity are strange.
What puzzles me is it could not have left the factory needing the neck shimmed. So what caused this?
I hope the OP lets us in on what prs has to say.
I shimmed the neck over the weekend. Was able to get this thing into a playable condition finally. It feels good and the action is down where it should be. I don't hear any difference in sustain or overall sound so I'm happy. Here are some pics of it. The second pic shows that with the low E saddle bottomed out, the string rests on the frets, which was the starting point I needed. The tremelo is back to floating 1/16 off the body also.
All seems good except the intonation needs some work. I have a crappy tuner still and I also re-used the strings after re-setting the trem screws a second time so I don't think they are locked in like you get them on the first pass (ran out - more on the way).
Anyway, thanks for the help in trying to figure this out. I'm happy to provide more measurements or pics if there is interest.

Just seeing this. I have a '95 CE-22 that I could not set up properly. The PTC confirmed that that it needed a shim. They did the job and it turned out great.
I'm just blown away by this. It had to be fine when it left the factory. I really wish i understood what caused this problem.
Right on. Whatever caused it, I sure as hell don't want to do that!You and me both!
