This distance plays a crucial role in your setup because it determines how easy it is to fret each note and how aggressive you can play the instrument before causing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/guitar-setup-how-much-string-buzz-is-normal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">fret buzz<\/a>. When measuring action, you&#8217;ll want to keep in mind some target numbers, but ultimately, your playing style and personal taste will determine the string height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"Low-action-no-buzz\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader darkBlueHeader alignLeft underline customh3 swheader\">&#8220;Low action, no buzz.&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<p>Our #1 request for a custom setup is \u201clow action, no buzz.\u201d This is always tough to tackle because what\u2019s low for us may be high for you. Also, the lower the strings are to the frets, the more likely you are to have buzz. This is why setting the action is always a compromise between getting it as low as possible and avoiding fret buzz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the focus of these articles will be on electric guitars, we will always want to verify how much buzz is translating through the amplifier. You won\u2019t hear most of the buzz you hear while you\u2019re sitting on your couch and strumming your guitar through an amp. Keep this in mind if fret buzz is a deal-breaker in your setup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/lEYTiFQS3a_-WR3g8XIeXaxOz8Y4IJ0GEidCkduuF1ohz-64WqIZ8AQK6gxoUETGs6OHFWjSzt1b-PNbSqB3JC6PU6fX0niIn0mKLWy6uEmRkiFhW_m_bkLuFzu6oiiFbjulsQs1\" alt=\"Guitar Tech Measuring the Action of an acoustic guitar with a ruler. \"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Tune the guitar to pitch and ensure that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/guitar-setup-what-is-neck-relief\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">neck relief<\/a> has been properly adjusted.<\/li><li>Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/insync\/luthier-luthierie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Luthiers<\/a> will install a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/c931--Guitar_Capos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">capo<\/a> at the first fret to prevent the nut height from being a factor in their measurements.

Everyone\u2019s setup preferences are a bit different.

The Fender-style bridge allows you to adjust each saddle height individually. When adjusting these, it\u2019s up to you to maintain or adjust them to the proper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/guitar-setup-what-is-the-radius-of-my-guitars-fretboard\/\">radius<\/a>. A Gibson-style bridge has two bridge posts that allow you to adjust only the bass and treble side of the bridge. The radius of the saddle slots on a Gibson bridge should have already been set when the bridge was initially installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"Adjust-action-on-a-Fender-bridge\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader darkBlueHeader alignLeft underline customh3 swheader\">Adjust action on a Fender bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f2f1f0\"><strong>SADDLE HEIGHT: <\/strong>Increasing the saddle height will also increase the string tension. Strings are easier to bend with less tension, so set the height to best suit your playing style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>First, adjust your Low E-string height by raising or lowering the saddle. Always ensure that you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/guitar-setup-the-right-tool-for-the-job\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">using the correct wrench size.<\/a><\/li><li>Adjust both set screws, re-tune your guitar to pitch, and take another action measurement at the 12th fret. You may want to play that string a little to see if the playability has improved for you. If so, accurately measure the action height and adjust the rest of the strings to that same distance. This will give you the correct radius.<\/li><li>Many of the Technicians here at Sweetwater prefer to have a slightly lower action on the treble strings since these strings&#8217; vibrational pattern is tighter and requires less clearance. If you&#8217;d like to try this, set the action of your high E string (1st) 1\/64th of an inch lower than your low E string (6th). You can cascade your measurements from tallest to lowest, or you can more accurately set your strings to the proper radius by verifying with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/guitar-setup-how-do-i-use-a-radius-gauge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">radius gauge<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"Fender-action-specifications\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">Fender action specifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/HUQ5v9n_igtC2T79e05glgAzG1Rn7vA2f8woqH8gP4p6AMZfmOY9s5h5FUJNTRJS1FQ25PVYJDHHcq5n18rronrhbkDCWmOcMg3gLTWtuGohpEVUBGlYyxgLRvmD3d7v-oCBhtPO\" alt=\"Fender Bridge\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/UNxPHDYnQw39PgCUhQMAd8N8a2jZOpE0sA9NUV-fdTqhR2IU9pwk2ikXGa6cZXcE6IqAldD0NnjOKGkMXmHrib76SIIYDPlSd8AF5L_XBWg5kTC1WqKrLR8Hb_xCDx3G09EHAX2t\" alt=\"Fender Action String Height Measurements\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"Adjust-action-on-a-Gibson-bridge\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader darkBlueHeader alignLeft underline customh3 swheader\">Adjust action on a Gibson bridge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STOPBAR TIP:<\/strong> Be sure that the stopbar is not causing the strings to make contact with the back of the bridge.
