Sinclair Community College | ETD 110 Guitar Service Manual

Action Adjustment cont:

7. The distance between the bottom of the high E string and the

top 12

fret should be set to 2/32”. If the string is higher or

lower than 2/32” then you will have to adjust the saddle piece

with an Allen wrench.

8. Set the low E string to 3/32” at the 12

fret by raising or

lowering the saddle.

9. Place a radius gauge that corresponds to the radius of the fret

board radius on the strings. The gauge should sit on the low

and high E strings while touching the middle strings. If the

middle strings are higher or lower than the gauge, you will need

to adjust the strings’ height relative to the outside strings.

When the gauge is placed on the outer strings, the rest of the

strings should be touching the gauge but not holding it off the

outer strings.

Retune the guitar and check the action of the outer strings at

the 12

fret.
