SETTING THE STRING ACTION
String height refers to the space between the strings and frets,
and has an affect on playability.
Set too high and the instrument is hard to play. Too low results
in fret noise.
Adjust so that the space between the string and the last fret
measures as follows:
Individual height adjustments for each string are provided in
the form of two set screws on each saddle. Clockwise rotation
raises saddle height and counter-clockwise lowers the saddle.
