Hey guys.
I purchased a new m-20 and had it shipped directly from Guild. The setup out of the box seems pretty good. I had to add a little relief to the neck (about 1 business card of relief). I just tested the nut by fretting at the 3rd fret and eying the space. There is just a little space. It seems appropriate. The action at the 12th fret, however, is a bit high (2.6mm). So is that high action simply a matter of the saddle since the relief and nut look good?
If so, can I take the saddle off and file it down with sandpaper?
I have never done this before and wondering how hard it is.
