Hey guys. I had to buy one of these (the USA M-20 reissue in sunburst) online b/c I couldn't find a dealer, so it will be a crap shoot. They want to know how I'd like it setup. Does Guild have a site where they give recommendations for each guitar?
Personally, I like about 2.25mm on the Low E/12th fret on my electrics. I'm not sure how that translates, as my only acoustic is a junky yahama from the 90s.
My style is strumming and fingerpicking. Do you guys have suggestions on how to have them set it up? My touch is light to medium, except when strumming aggressively...then I tend to dig into the strings more. Also, if the saddle is lowered to make the action ~2.25 to 2.5 range, they'd have to adjust the nut as well, correct?
I'm worried about them overdoing it and the strings buzz/flop from too low a nut. I'd be curious to hear what you guys think would be a good setup for this guitar in terms of relief, action, and nut. Thanks!
