| Re: How low should the action be on a Strat?
I had a look at the shim that was put in it and it's quite thin so I used some paper to adjust it, four pages of normal A4 thickness cut to the same shape of the shim and now the action is almost perfect but buzzing everywhere aarrrggh. I think the neck might actually be bent because the normal test of truss rod straightness (holding down the bass E string at the 17th fret and 1st fret) produces a small gap at the 5th fret which is correct and when I play the F note it rings true but if I play the F note an octave up it buzzes out. It's quite dissapointing because it's so good to play now, apart from string bends being a bit rough. Keep forgetting to buy that guitar repair book
