![]() ![]() But if you then lower the 12st fret action the 1st fret will probably start buzzing :-) I have a question. That will make the guitar easier to play with a high 12th fret action. ![]() The 1st will not buzz with the lowest nut action in the table. If you start with a high 12th fret action and use the table or Frank Ford method, the nut action at the 1st fret is higher than it need to be. But even with 2.0/0.6 there was no fretting out. The lowest action that was playable without any buzzing was 2.2/1.3 mm. I think the nut can be even lower than the zero fret without buzzing due to the extra stiffness of the string coming out from the nut. Measured with feeler gauges in steps of 0.05 mm. Having a guitar on my desk with an adjustable bridge I took the time to measure the nut action for the e and E string using a zero fret and different 12th fret actions. The nut action you get that way is similar to what you get from a zero fret. By pressing down the string at the 3d fret the 12th fret action is irrelevant. Now I know that the method given by Frank Ford is a much better way to do it. The same for my normal action at the 12th for an acoustic guitar as for electric guitars with lower action. Somehow I was stuck in using a standard set of feeler gauges for each string. ![]() I realized that I didn't handle the nut action as I should. In the compensated nut thread I made some experimenting and measuring. ![]()
