Hi Soo and Gary,

Since both of you are asking about relatively new guitars that you recently purchased, I'd say that this first time out you take it to the shop and have it set up and strung with light gauge strings.

If they do their set-up right, it should hit the perfect sweet spot that allows you to have the lowest possible action without buzzing.

Also, you'll get an idea of what the guitar feels and sounds like when it is set up just right, with brand new strings. Next time, you may feel better about taking it on yourself, and experimenting with different string types if you want to.

New guitars often take a little breaking in period, so it is not unusual at all for a customer to request a set-up and some tweaks in the beginning.

Keep us posted!
Best wishes, Lisa
