Strings closer to fret board

Post by Ginger_Overlord »

Hi All,

I have an electric guitar and I was wondering how can I set the strings so that they are closer to the fret board?

Many thanks,

Hi welcome.

Usually this is done by lowering the action - this is usually done by loweing the saddles at the bridge end of the guitar.

Genereally some kind of allen key bolt here to adjust it but it varies from guitar to guitar.

Bear in mind that if you go to low you may need to start adjusting hte truss rod to stop fret buzz - so I would advise only making small adjutments until you have it right.

Let us know if you get stuck
