Just built a stratocaster from bits. Got a really high action. Have adjusted saddles but still too high? - mexican saddles
Hohner has a body and neck Fender Japan. I've adjusted the lower deck, all the way and I still play from 1 cm to the box 21. I had a way out of Mexico before he was for a little action with no probs. Bolt holes in the neck to body alignment in the body. They made repairs and adjustments before, but I need some tips.

Mexican Saddles Just Built A Stratocaster From Bits. Got A Really High Action. Have Adjusted Saddles But Still Too High?

OK ... What other settings? - Deviation and Neck Relief / truss rod ... not only the reduction of the bridge.
Camber - the radius of the key - confirmed by measuring the height of each string 12 frets and 1 The action takes place in the lower part because the heavy chains require cleaning more swing freely. The cable should be adjusted so that the action of the strings is increased gradually until 1 6-string. On electric guitars with individually adjustable seats are easy.
Neck relief - is the curve on the neck. The relief is, by the rope in the 1 and the last field and measure the distance between the bottom of the rope and the upper part measured. In turn, the lowest point - usually is around the box 7 or 8 - on average from 0.015 to 0.05 cm (0.005 to 0.020 inches).
Truss Rod - or the neck or strengthens against the string tension. Most can be located with a wrench (hex Allen), or a parent slot, the heel of the head and neck to be adjusted for HTE. Solvingcounterclockwise, while the increase in the relief cuts adjustment clockwise. Simple in theory, very complex in practice - could require the attention of a specialist? ** If this attempt to adjustments in increments of half to make at a time, again and again relief.Ideally should not be more than one full rotation in both directions.
In addition, neck and body are supported?
I hope this brings some light in the right direction.
You try to drive a wedge under the neck of the closure bolts that are closest to the center of the body. It may take a few attempts and maybe more of a corner, but I know it will work.
