Guitar Action
Excerpted from Setup Secrets of Fender, Gibson & Martin For most electrics, string height is adjusted by raising or lowering the entire bridge, as in the case of the Gibson Tune-o-matic style, or by adjusting the individual saddles of a Fender-style bridge. The simplest way to set the action is to just lower the bridge until the strings buzz, and then gradually raise it until the buzzing stops or is no longer bothersome. Do this by eye until it feels good. The factory specs are a good point to start from or return to during setup. See below:
