Action Adjustment
Action is the distance that a string must be depressed before it meets the fret.
Action measurements are taken in 64th’s of an inch, and are calculated from
the top of the 12th fret to the underside of the string. GBME sets the action
on all instruments at the factory for optimum playability. On occasion, lower
than standard settings are desired by the player. This can be achieved by
adjusting the bridge studs (See Tune-o-matic Bridge). Lower than standard
action can often result in “buzz” or
“rattle.” This is caused by the string
vibrating against the fret. Buzz or
rattle caused by lower than standard
action is not considered a defect of
the instrument.
