I was watching the Grateful Dead’s 74 tour footage and noticed that Jerry Garcia’s string height was set pretty high. He was playing his “Wolf”, which has a single coil neck pickup.
I had some issues when I had my strats set up with low action, and after raising it a bit I got a whole new palette of colors in my tone, and plenty of extra sustain as far as I could hear. I don’t think I’m biased as I actually like my string height as low as possible and got it higher because I needed a quick setup for a gig and the guitar was buzzing.
How do you guys like your action?
