Hi guys, my string height seems very high and although I have adjusted the coordinator rod (don't want to go any further as it is changing shape) my 4th string height is still at 12/64 at the 22nd fret and 10/64 at the 12th fret. Any ideas on how to lower the height without touching the coord rod and keeping the same 5/8 bridge.

I am after 8/64 (1/8) at the 12th and 9/64 at the 22nd.

Cheers, Paul
