 | Violin + > The setting sleeve
Let's be clear: the less you touch your sleeve, the better will be your guitar! We're not all people meticulous (it is not), and it would be a shame to risk disaster.
However, sometimes the action (string height over the button) appears so high that the guitar becomes very difficult to play; Or, conversely, the strings placed too near the handle, cause noise and other crimping unpleasant. It must therefore be addressed by making some basic adjustments. Caution, do not believe that your neck needs adjustment because it is not exactly the plan: it is normal that this profile slightly concave (hollow, so).
Above all, know what you want if you want a comfortable game to the left hand with strings very close to the button, do not forget that such adjustment will ban you play hard to the right hand failing to curl your strings. Similarly, if you do not want to hear any extraneous noise from your strings (they do not curl), does not have any strings placed against the! It's an oxymoron ...
In general, the guitars (except classical nylon string) are equipped with bar adjustment (truss rod) located inside the sleeve. This bar, set a winning side, has at its other end, a bolt. The more you tighten the bolt, the more the handle stands up and conversely, the more you loosen over your neck will widen, thus increasing the action of the strings. For pity's sake, go easy, quarter-turn at risk of distorting the pitch of the adjustment bar which case not only your guitar will be good for the trash but you would not be covered by any manufacturer's warranty ! So, flexible wrist, flexible ...
Also note that the setting of the action depends on the type of instrument and your playing style: one does not a jazz guitar as a folk guitar, a rhythm and did not have the same needs as a soloist. Below are the acceptable actions at the hoop located at the junction sleeve / body electric = 2.38 mm (low E) and 1.59 mm (high E) folk: 3.18 mm and 2.38 mm. Warning! These are averages and do not feel obliged to pump air to all makers of France because you are missing two tenths of a millimeter! Thank you for them ...
First thing to do: tune your guitar in tune (A 440 Hz for the fifth string or the tone of the phone). Then, play (loudly) on the first cases of severe Mi. If it does not curl in the guitar amp, and if you are too high ropes, tighten a half turn your bar setting. Check the boxes of small acute Mi sound crisp and clear, if so, repeat the operation, but by acting quarter-turn only! (For a folk, do the same way, knowing that a slight buzzing of the strings is acceptable.)
