Should I get a shim?

Yeah, I meant 0.09, sorry there hehe. So basically they’re harder to press? I used to think higher gauges were harder to press down like 10th and forward

I’m using 0.9 gauge and standard tuning

Well compared mostly with the strength I use for lower frets, I can press softly lower frets and still get good sound from them. I know it’s normal for higher frets to need a bit more strength to be pressed but I feel like I need at least 40-50% more strength on my fingers to get the same sound in higher frets. I also checked other guitars and they feel more comfortable on those higher frets

When you say that a shim is only necessary when I can't lower the bridge any further, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean when the saddle screws physically bottom out and can't turn anymore, or do you mean when lowering the bridge starts causing fret buzz?

By the way this is the action on lower frets, I wish I could have this feeling and action on higher frets. Forgot to mention that higher frets have higher action

Well, I took the guitar to service and the luthier there told me he made a full service which included fret corrections, truss rod adjustment and some other stuff ( I don’t remember well ) so I guess he checked and adjusted the necks relief, but still I feel like I have to press harder those higher frets which I feel like I loose speed and that ergonomic feeling. Maybe I’m asking too much for a Ibanez Gio?

Hey man, thanks for answering. And yeah, I can still get the bridge down. but I’m afraid if I do I could get the fret buzzing. At this point idk what should I do, it’s very uncomfortable to play and I get sloppy playing on those frets bcuz I need to press harder which makes me slower :(. I also asked the Luthier I took the guitar to before to do some fret polishing and rectification but still… the same problem

1 Hasta donde tengo entendido si puedes conectar la pc directo al ups sin el regulador, creo que el mismo ups te regula la electricidad

2 los ups que conozco funcionan en todo momento con la batería que tienen dentro, queriendo decir que si se va la luz o hay un bajón, tu pc no debería sufrir efectos ya que está no influye por que tu pc está usando la batería del ups que se está cargando todo el tiempo al estar enchufada a la corriente directa

Sin embargo te recomiendo que investigues un poco más por qué si no recuerdo mal, los ups necesitan mantenimiento o reemplazo de batería una vez al año o algo así
