I got an acoustic, a tanglewood, about 6 months ago. It played terriffic, but lately ive noticed the action is very high.

im still not sure if this is due to the fact that ive been playing electric a bit more lately and going back to acoustic seems different, but i dont think so.

Il measure the action tonight just so you have exact measurements to base any advice on.

Anyway, after i adjust the truss, whats next?

Do i buy a few nuts and a few saddles and expirement with cutting deeper string slots on the nut and removing some material from the bottom of the saddle?

Theres plenty of info for setting up a solid body guitar but not so much on acoustics.

I will be doing the work myself, but just want to look before i leap, so to speak.
