Action to high

the action on my guitar is to high. How do I go about fixing it?

What kind of bridge is it? If you don't know, take apicture or use google to find a picture of what you have so we can help you. But basically, or fixed bridges (no tremelo bar) there are 2 big flathead screws on either side of the bridge that you will screw in to lower the strings. On a tremelo bridge, a floyd rose is the same as a fixed bridge, a strat stlye, you need to do each string individually by screwing down the two allen bolts on either side of the saddle.

Yes describing your problem would be helpful. I just adjusted mine. It's not as difficult as you might think. The problem I had is that the action was a lot higher at the bridge end of the neck than at the nut end. So basically what was hoping to do was to tilt my neck back a little. To accomplish this, this is what I did :

* remove strings
* unbolt neck off guitar
* put a 1" wide strip of 60 grit sandpaper all they way at the back of the neck saddle of the body.
* put neck back on
* put strings back on returned
* Adjust the height of the licensed Floyd Rose trem just a bit

I know that when i was facing this, it seemed really involved, but actually i found it wasn't all that bad.

Realizing that this sounds obvious, I would take it to a professional to do a set up and tell the tech what you're looking to do. Might cost a coupla dollars ($30-$40) but could od wonders for the playing. A qualified tech can maximize action and playability. The aren't miracle workers, though. If you have a low cost instrument, issues like action are often less workable than on higher cost models. Depends on the maker of low cost instruments too...depends. Still, a good tech will get you as close as possible.
