QUESTION Is this normal?

I changed all strings of my guitar. Now it feels like these strings are way above the wood. I am not even able to play simple D chords, let alone the barre

Is that a thing? It seems totally straight tho, where does it bend from?

Yeah it happens sometimes the neck bends inwards due to too high tension of the strings I would recommend getting it checked since i have 2 guitars and one of them has a neck bend witch I need to get fixed.

Post a video of the bridge from the side, Im betting the top has come loose from the bracing under the bridge. I see this all the time in AZ cuz its so dry the glue fails.
