Electrics, 3/64s B 2/64s T (or there about) with an arrow straight neck, frets have to be level for this to work. 10 gauge strings Acoustics around 5/64s B 3~4/64s T 12 gauge strings.

rct Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Like all guitars, the height at which the neck functions correctly. 7/64ths I think(?)* for the two E strings at the 17 on my Teles and strats and Esquires, rest fit the radius for that guitar. I don't remember on Les Paul. rct *I write this stuff down for an obvious reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybo Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 I think i am wearing my Elixers on my Les Paul a little higher so I can dig in and get a bit more sustain. Also bending is easier.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I set my LP at the 12th fret, 3/64th High E, 5/64ths Low E, but I always like them kinda on the low side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Medium for LPs. What I consider medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Low for regular playing. Higher for Slide.. All my Guitars are adjusted to slightly different heights so I can't give exact numbers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Forrest Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I like a low action so I start at about 3/64 and raise it until the buzz stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunking101 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 No relief and as low as humanly possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
