Tight G string

From conic on 4/11/2016 9:00:16 AM

OK here is the problem, on my RK-75,   5th fret , 3rd G string, as I choke the string up from the C note up to a full D, it stops short of the full D because the string hits the plastic 5th string guide.

I can force it higher by pushing it up harder with two fingers to get a clean D note but the string then rolls off the edge binding and may cause damage.

I was thinking this may be a result of the longer string length on the RK-75 having further to travel because its ok on my deering goodtime.

The lick Im trying to play is a Geoff Hohwald 12 bar blues improvisation chuck berry type of bend you would hear on johnny b goode. I am using medium string and  suppose I could try some PF 140 lights
