truss rod adjustments
Question to all you builders: If a guitar player enjoys low action, the neck should be as straight as possible, correct? Any other tips on getting the action perfect and subsequently learning how to do my own setups? Perhaps a link?

Re: truss rod adjustments
I like a tickle of relief.
Plekking gets them level, but only a good hand done fret job will do a guitar justice. Plekking is like Outback Steakhouse, whereas my my local Diner makes a KILLER steak!!!

Re: truss rod adjustments
Like i said in another thread. the plek'd guitars including mine have very square frets. They can make it hard to do slides. I think id rather a pro do the fret dressing. I will say the buzz is definitely minimal.
