| Re: How low should the action be on a Strat?
I'm curious to why it would affect intonation because that's all about the distance from the nut to the bridge isn't it, the height of the strings is different? You can always lower pickups. Although Strats are the best guitars one thing I did notice is it's harder to bend strings on them than Les Pauls. I have a Les Paul copy that belongs to a mate and it is quite easy to bend strings on that compared. After some reading I found out it's because they have different scale lengths, the Les Paul having the shorter one so to get the same pitch the strings don't need the same amount of tension. The tremolo makes up for it. Did Gibson ever make a Les Paul with a tremolo?
