Where abouts on the fretboard are the strings touching, ie. which frets?

tighting it won't help at all, it well thourgh off you tune, and break the strings. so get a paper clip. hook the B or string, and pull it till it lock on to the thing at the end of the neck.

i think u should look if the neck is adjusted right, if thats oke, dont touch it (duh).

do u have a tremolo of not??

if u have a trem, u could adjust the springs in the back to lower/higher the bar, but this should be centered most of the time (the bar should be paralell to the body in most cases), or try to raise/lower the bar by screwing in or out the screws that attach the bar to the body.

donnu if the explanation is clear, i suck at explaining

make sure the bridge is parrellel to the body (given its a trem)
look down the length of the neck. There should be a slight bow to it. If there isn't, then that could very well be your problem.
