Hi,
I just received my PRS NF3 Se from Sweetwater.
Besides the Action being Super High, (that I Can Fix), The High E String Is Touching The Last (of the 6) bridge post. The High E Saddle is almost covering the string hole (where you replace a string), or put the new string through.
The High E String is flat a little bit.
But I can’t move the bridge saddle forward to intonate it. My question is there a fix for this?
Or does the whole bridge need to be moved?
 
That doesn't sound right, but I've seen stranger things.
First try new strings and if that doesn't work, aside from returning that guitar for another one, if the intonation isn't that far off, you could remove the saddle and file down the face to give the saddle a bit more room to move.
 
I’m using a Peterson Strobe Tuner. I’ve got the intonation close now, not perfect, but better than it was.
My other problem is string height is to high from the 10th fret to the 22nd fret.
The neck relief is set to PRS spec, using a .006 filler gauge.
How do I lower the strings from the 10th fret to the 22nd frets for better playability?
