These are great little guitars, unfortunately some of them come out of the shop with a very high playing action.  A fairly easy job to put right though…

Starting at the top, with the action height at the first fret.  This one was OK, otherwise it’s a simple job to cut the slots in the nut a little deeper.

Next the curve, or set, in the neck.  This one was a little large…..

so a tighten the truss-rod a little.

The playing action at the 12th fret was also rather high so I need to reduce the height of the saddle.  The only way to do that is with a grinding wheel.  Measuring up I think about 5/64″ off the bass side and 8/64″ off the treble….

I always fix the saddle to a block of wood to make sure the bottom ends up square and flat..

With it back in place the action is just right….

Finish it off with a polish and it’s done…
