    I would leave that to a trained luthier for a truss rod adjustment and file the nut down a bit. acoustics are much more difficult for proper truss rod adjustment because of the hollow body and the need to acclimate longer.

    It sounds good. I just want the action lower on the higher frets. I really dont want to mess up this guitar.
    Ill look for a shop around my area..

    Like Matic said, truss rod adjustment and then some...or tune to open D or G and slide away.

    But that's an easy adjustment...for someone with experience.

    Good score @ 60 bones

    since I can't play my fiddles, I decided to pull out the 2 finger noise maker and studio one 5.

    I like Les Paul, Teles, and Marshalls.Marshall's. I've been without a LP for a bit, but might buy one this weekend. 20211116_110442.jpg

    I have a trusty Taylor GS Mini in a Koa finish I got on black Friday a few years ago. I'm self taught so I would say I'm mediocre at best :rofl::rofl: But one day I decided to learn Dust in the Wind by Kansas and if I got through the whole song I'd buy myself a Taylor.

    I learned guitar on my cousin's old AF guitar with the HARDEST strings I have ever felt in my entire life. The kind that want to make your fingertips bleed o_O Still learned all the basics on it though.

    While a truss rod adjustment may help some of that action, it looks like the guitar may be a candidate for a neck reset or a filing down of the saddle depending on how much is left. The action where the neck meets the guitar body is high (12-13 fret), and the truss rod won't change that much.
