ok, i was down in this new lil music store and i walk in and see some off brands and a few fenders i thought ok, just a local lesson store... then i saw this jackson... it was 299, transparent red (more maroon), floyd rose, good shape, kelly style performer... i played it for about an hour and it plays pretty well, outta tune and the actions a little high... so.. how do you adjust the action on a FR guitar?.

ill post pics later... and btw final price was 260!!!
 
Re: new guitar!!!

Action = the little allen screws on either end of the bridge, where the knife edges are resting on.
 
Re: new guitar!!!

Wow... I'm surprised a <$300 Jackson plays as well as you say it does. And with a trem no less... I'm guessing a Jackson Floyd knock-off
 
Re: new guitar!!!

hmm the action doesnt seem to have chaanged.... umm i i turned the allen things as far as theyd go and it didnt seem to change at all.... still sorta high... i thik im messin up somewhere
 
Re: new guitar!!!

yeah id like to change the action on my carvin as well... where are these alien screws?
 
Re: new guitar!!!

at the front of the bridge in the corners.........i think......... cuz thats the ones ive been adjusting lol
 
Re: new guitar!!!

Check the neck for proper relief. If you have that bridge dropped all the way and the strings are still a good distance off the fretboard, that is a good sign that the neck has a little too much forward bow and is in need of a truss rod adjustment.
