My high e stgring is awfully close to the edge of the fret board. Hard to pull off. Is there an adjustment or should i adjust me style?

The neck set may be off and it may need to be reset or maybe you could get a new nut cut and the strings respaced or you could try angling the bridge saddle for the E string inward a bit.Sometimes just a minimal adjustment at the bridge will make the world of difference.

I have a '59 Thin Skin Strat that has tall frets and the fret bevel is at an angle that's pretty sharp,and the string is close to the edge like yours and it has that tendency to roll off the edge....I don't like it.
I was going to try the same things that guitslinger said and then if that didn't work I was going to have a very good luthier refret it with frets that were more of a vintage shape.....but my son loves it and is playing it right now...we'll see.
My American Standards have not had that problem...let a good luthier look at it before doing anything drastic.
I did try out an Eric Johnson model that had the E string very close to the edge,I don't know if they're all like that.

Sometimes bolt on necks get out of whack and it affects the sring alignment. It happened to one of my Strats after experiencing a good thump in transit.

This is a really easy fix that gets brought up many times here. This solution has worked for the past 60 years since Leo rolled out the first bolt on neck guitar:

1. Slacken strings
2. Loosen the four neck plate screws by a few turns
3. Move neck in direction you want it to go to make the strings centered (don't be afraid if you hear a "pop")
4. Tighten screws
5. Tune up
6. Rock on without having your low E or high E fall off the fretboard

Good luck!

I guess there are just some things that kinda spook me,even after all these years playing Strats and that's turning a truss rod or loosening those four bolts on the neck...I don't know why 'cause I'll try anything else.
I'm gonna give that a try on the '59...

In that case, the next time you change your strings, you need to remove the neck and get over your phobia... you can do it... fairly difficult to screw things up here.

On the other hand, I understand the truss rod issue... truss rods can be a nightmare if you get sideways here.

I would go on record and say hands down it just needs a neck alignment as this is rather common. I have actually bent a note up so heavy handed I heard a slight squeak and my low E would come off the fretboard just about every time I fretted it past the 7th fret. A quick alignment straightened it right out. Rebelsoul I dont understand why you are putting up with having your low E go off the fretboard. Just bring it to any shop and in 5 minutes the problem should be solved.

It's a quick procedure. The neck doesn't even need to come off. The bolts just need to be loosened enough to move the neck in the neck pocket with a firm tug. Ask to watch them do it.

Really I'm not putting up with it right now...I had just bought the guitar and it wasn't real bad but enough to bug me even if it happens a couple of times...then my son brought over another Strat for me to replace the pickups in and I let him play the new one,and he loved it.
He's a gigging musician and needed a Strat for the next gig so I told him to use it.I have the pickups changed now so when I get it back I'll align the neck.
Funny, like I said I've worked on electronics and amps and everything but have left the necks to someone else.
It's time to mess with necks

The AV-Thin Skins all have 1.650 nut width.The American Standards are 1.685. I have a 54 Thin Skin and the high E is closer than on my Deluxe or my American Standard, but I play it a bit different and compensate for it....... Mike
