Tanglewood Setup

This one is a little unusual. Normally when someone brings an acoustic for a setup it’s because the action is too high….

But once I’d put the new strings on this one was a little low…

The truss-rod was actually to tight so there was too much curve in the neck as well, that’s only going to make it worse once I’ve dropped that down.

It’s manageable by just raising the bridge a little with a shim under the bridge saddle.

As high as I would like to go.  The next option would be a neck reset.

So there it is, playing well.
