Action too low?? Hi, I measured the action on my L2500 and the B at the last fret is at about 1.7mm. But it has no fret buzz unless I pull hard on strings. I like a likght touch too. Do you think itīs too low?? I also have the pick-ups low low, about 6mm from the strings on the neck pu. |
Does it work for you? If so then it's fine w/me |

Action is a very individual thing. I tend to start with the Fender setup guide then adjust (usually a little upwards from there). Mine are all about 2.5mm from the 17th fret which suits my playing style - lower and I get too much buzz, but others with a lighter touch may not. |
In general, if there's no buzz, then it's not too low. Even if there's a slight buzz, that can be ok too. Are you a slapper? If so, I've noticed it's hard for me to slap properly, when the action is low. I end up muting the strings w/ my thumb. |

But I like the ability to fly over the fingerboard and with just a gentle touch of the fretboard be able to fret the note with the minimal effort. The thing is if you only eyeball the fingerboard and the strings it doesnīt appear to be so low but when you meassure it....itīs really low. And what wonder me is that it doesnīt buzz. |
It sounds like it isn't too low for you. |

if you playing comfortably and you like your tone, don't change anything. It's your personal set, so don't change it. Cheers. |
Too low? Up to you to decide no one else since no one but you will be playing your instrument. |
Sounds like you've got it right where you want it. |
What's the 'best' string height? Sorry, I couldn't resist. |
