| Post subject: | Setup for slide and fretting |
Hi all I'm setting up my 2003 nrp national. Thought it needed a neck set but after exchanging emails with the helpful guys at national I removed some shims under the fb extension and am now working on lowering the action at the biscuit. The nut is set slightly high and the overall action fairly high too. Do you guys set action on a guitar like this good and low for fretting and improve slide technique to get clean or what's your method? Flat top action I like fairly low 1.8mm e 2.2 low E. I get wrist problems pretty quickly with a high action. I'm thinking to probably set the action a LITTLE higher than that and leave the nut slots very slightly high but I'd like to hear your thinking. Yes that's you hesh if you've the time Thanks all. |
