Originally posted by Axl_RoseActually, lead players usually have lower action than rhythm players, because they're less concerned about string-buzz. Lower action allows you to play faster. And Gibsons usually have lower action than Fenders because the flatter fingerboard radius makes them less likely to 'fret out' on a bend.
Well because I play lead guitar I dont do a lot of difficult chords so Im not bothered about lowering my action!
