Okay, I admit it. there has been just a certain “something“ about adjusting the saddles and truss rod on my own guitar that has always kept me away.
But finally, with a little online help from a friend who is far more knowledgeable than I, I took the plunge this morning and worked on the action and intonation on my new DW CE24. It’s funny because the tension difference between the factory 10 gauge strings and standard tuning wasn’t that different from the .12-.60 drop B I use. But the action was definitely high as a result.
Even though the “why“ of how neck relief doesn’t make sense to me, I managed to get this finnicky Floyd, neck and strings to a nice medium low with nary a buzzing fret to be found.
Score.
