A little higher was more comfortable, but I'm handling this alright at this height. I just lowered it two weeks ago.

I was really just wondering the concensus of opinion.

What I was trying to do was play slide comfortably on most any guitar & it sounds like I'm on the road to it. So I could try out a guitar without a setup & play OTay in any store.


Thanks for the imput everyone!!!]]> Slide and Alternate tunings tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210610 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210580 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 22:54:51 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210580 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210571 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 21:50:25 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210571 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210567 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 21:26:52 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210567 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210544 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 19:21:03 +0000 my guitars vary in action. my strat plus is ridiculously low. I can slide a dollar bill between the strings and fret board and it stays there. Ive got no buzz at all. but this guitar is not my slide ax.
my tele has a little higher action, but I get fret talk when sliding. I have to be careful.

my beater acoustic has high action and is grat for slide but a pain for fingerstyle.

perhaps action shouldnt be thought of as an set ideal, but more as can you make it work.]]> Slide and Alternate tunings dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-210544 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-22035 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 18:20:24 +0000
I'm just a touch high right now about 1/8" at the 22nd fret.

Is that considered high, med or low for slide?]]> Slide and Alternate tunings tinsmith https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/action-3/#post-22035
