This is why you should never trust a guitar store that does while-you-wait set-ups. Any set-up certainly needs at least one overnight waiting period followed by another check. Very small truss rod tweaks don't normally take that long to settle down, but anything more than 1/4 turn and you're better off waiting a good while before checking again.

To get your action as low as possible might require some light fret stoning and re-profiling. But one step at a time.

Hi Simon, yes a good point and at least if I learn correctly I can work towards getting it perfect.

If I can get the action close to my ibanez I will be very happy.

I think I might need to buy some fretting tools. This isnt a once off Im going to keep building these kits and eventually try a scratch build further down the track.

cheers,

Alkay.
