3) String Action Setup and Truss Rod Adjustment
String Action Setup
Thanks to our collaboration with Plek®, optimal string action setup is predetermined, which in turn should be perceived as comfortable by
the majority of players.
Due to the physical characteristics of wood and strings in conjunction with the vibration process please keep in mind that with a very low
string action setup, string buzzing is quite possible. The guitar has an optimal setup when your individual requirements are met. String gauge,
playing techniques, pick gauge, string attack, are all variables that cannot be considered when performing a factory setup.

How often should one change strings?
Changing strings is a matter of individual preference. It also depends on many different factors. Hand sweat and inappropriate room
conditions can attack the strings and negatively influence the sound of the guitar and its playability.
We recommend changing the strings once or twice a month to ensure brilliant tone and playability.
