Are certain guitars designed for low action?
by dale pierce
hello, i play tele's and strats. i have always enjoyed unusually high action. mater of fact on all of my guitars i put a shim under the nut. the shim is made out of a slice of copy paper with scotch tape stuck to both sides. fits good, glues good, transfers good. cheap and easy. don't know the dimension but you get the idea. this raises the break on the first three frets making them in my opinion much easier to play and the tone is much better. it also adds a natural relief to the overall neck as well. here's my question. i'm thinking about getting another guitar and thinking about trying a guitar that is designed for low action. as i mentioned, i've never gotten any tone out of low action on my fenders. are certain brands designed to sound and play better with low action?
