my guitar strings are too far away from the arm of the guitar is there any way to fix it with out buying a new guitar?

hmmmm, guitars dont really have arms, I bet you mean the neck.

and yes, its quite an easy fix, but I dont reccomend you doing it yourself. take it into your local guitar shop and get a full set up. you'll want your action lowered, which can be fixed by giving more relief on the truss rod. (inside the neck)

the guys at the shop will know what to do.


OH! welcome to GT, by the way!
