Topic: Saddle
Hi all, I am a learner. My terminology may not be up to scratch so please be patient.
I have an Ibanez V72ECE-NT, bought second hand. It tunes well using the built in tuner, and has a good rich, mellow tone.
I have heard people talk of 'high' and 'low' action. Can someone please describe to me, just what that is? and will what I describe in the next paragraph impact on my playing the guitar
With regard to the subject; having had a good look at the saddle (which is the plastic piece that fits into the bridge, I've been told) there is a definite difference in the height where the thickest 'e' string sits and the height where the thinnest 'e' string sits. Putting a rule at the 11th fret wire, the measurement is something in the region of 3/16 from the fret wire to the bottom of the thickest 'e' string. The measurement from the same fret wire to the bottom of the thinnest 'e' string is 1/8. is this normal?
Please advise.
