thanks for the info Jeff. i have found that lowering too much will make it rattle
when you pick hard.i am trying to find that happy medium because i get excited some times haha
Some info on the intended use / style of play would be helpful.
3 Examples , each would have different set ups.
1- Hard Chord Bangin Rhythm
2- Fingerpicking and light strumming
3- Finger Tapping
Each setup would get incrementally closer to the fret…
Barry thats a great guitar to experimant with not a lot of value on the market for them and you can always take it in if you mess it up, just check the bet and you'll find all types of instructions for how to lower your action just make sure you buy…
Is it an old Texan with a bolt on neck? If so you can unbolt them and shim them up real fast and easy.
it is a epiphone ft 130 made in japan. i have been sanding on a bone saddle
just experimenting,i saved my old saddle just in case
thanks for the input ill let you know

Gonna lower the saddle and nut to lower the strings.
how close is too close,i dont want them rattling on a fret.
how do the pros do it,any suggestions.
i have sanded the nut before,i am starting with new nut
