Or is it just fretting out on you? If so a neck adjustment might help. Depends on how low you want it, for very low action you sometimes have to live with a bit of buzz. | |

 | you could shim the neck  I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams. |

| You shouldn't need to shim the neck!! You definitely want to avoid that. It probably just needs a truss adjustment. Does the action get higher and higher as you go toward the bridge from the nut (from a side profile)? |

| Shimming is actually what you're supposed to do, never attempt to correct action with the truss rod as you could easily fuck things up doing that, it is NOT meant to do that, the only thing the truss rod is for is to adjust for string tension causing the neck to bow. My Site:  əBCAir |

| If the neck is not straight, then you should adjust the truss rod, or have a professional adjust it for you if you don't want to screw up the neck all permanent-like. If the neck is already as straight as you like, you will have to shim the neck. Using one to three business cards (depending on how much you want to shim up, one would probably be just fine) ine the neck-joint, you can lower the action significantly. Again, if you don't know how to do this, your best bet is to go to a professional guitar technician. |
