I have a few questions about my ltd sparrowhawk.

This is my first ltd/esp product and I have a few things I am wondering  about it.

First off is the neck supposed to flex much? Mine flexes with very little pressure. If I am playing and move much or turn then it either goes flat or sharp depending on how I move. 

Next is what is the factory suggested measurements for action? When I got it the strings were around 8mm off the 22nd fret. I lowered them to 3 to make it playable. But the g string buzzes on every fret up the neck. The relief on the neck reads .012 at the 8th fret and the strings are 2mm off the 12th fret.

I purchased it from new. Said it was common for the strings to be set so high and the neck to flex so much. And suggested that I set it up with 9-42 strings.

None of that sounds right to me.

Hey Shannon, this does not sound like it was properly set up as there shouldn't be "flex" to the neck at all, we recommend taking it to an ESP Service Center at the dealer for further inspection.
