So yeah how do you like it? I would imagine most people have it pretty low but I remember hearing before from a player that he liked his a little higher. Also, Is there a such thing as too low? I mean aside from the obvious fret buzz and notes dying out when you bend them is there a con or disadvantage to having an extremely low string action?

On both of my guitars the action is pretty close to the same,It graduates from just slightly higher than the thickness of a buisiness card at the first fret to just slightly higher than the thickness of a credit/debit card at the last fret, A Jim Dunlop jazz III pick wont quite fit between the string and fret at the last fret. (sorry I dont have a micrometer tongue.gif )

Thanks! Rich.....
