Ok so i have a fender acoustic not sure which model tho i got it second hand from a friend, and it had .12 strings [no wonder i couldnt do barre chords properly]

anyway i had the action taken down and put a fresh set of .10 fender strings. Now it rattles.

So do i take the action up a bit, and which way do i screw the truss rod which is at the end of the neck [where the neck pick would be on an electric]

?

Ummm... not sure if you realize this, but some people put 12's on their electrics! I've got 10's on my electric right now, and 13's on my acoustic.

The lower string gauge will throw off your intonation, which is [u]much[/u] harder/impossible to adjust on an acoustic!
