Kzin Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hi I´m about to have my les paul PLEKed and I´m not sure what action I shoud choose. I´m choosing between low, wich is 1,16 mm at the 12th fret on the high e-string, and medium wich is 1,31mm. I mostly play blues and rock and I think "low" might be a little too low. On the other hand I want the guitar to be easy to play, but 1,31 should also be pretty low, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 So we're talking .15 mm difference? That's all? Jeez, I don't know how you'll measure that sort of accuracy. String height is just over a millimeter at the 12th fret? I say go low. You can always raise the bridge slightly. Can't say I fully understand the process you're describing, not with those numbers anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 You're probably better off having a luthier give you a fret dress... Ask any experienced luthier - pleking's good but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar232007 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It depends on what exactly your going to be playing, as having "low" action is good for lead playing, and having somewhat of a "high" action is usually good for rhythm. The action on ALL my guitars is somewhere between med-low, and that's perfect for anything (lead/rhythm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
