Changing the action on an acoustic is not a simple task. I would try a set of medium or light gauge strings first. I use light gauge myself. I like the Marting SP strings in the red box but it's personal preference really. Try different brands 'cause they will all sound different, you'll find something you like for sure. Anyway, if you want the action lowered take it to a luthier. They have to shave the nut :eek: and the saddle as well. ;)
