The People who have high action on their guitars, I would like to know what your string height is on the 12th fret for the 1st and 6th strings. I'm looking for an idea how to adjust my height. I'm using 11 gauge strings as well.

Thanks

You can find all the info you need for setting up your Fender by clicking the Support link at the top of the page and then clicking Setup Guide on the left.

Players with a light touch can get away with lower action; others need higher action to avoid rattles. First, check tuning. Using a 6" (150 mm) ruler, measure the distance between bottom of strings and top of the 17th fret. Adjust bridge saddles to the height according to the chart, then re-tune. Experiment with the height until the desired sound and feel is achieved.

Note: For locking tremolo systems, the individual string height is preset. Use the two pivot adjustment screws to achieve the desired overall string height.


Neck Radius String Height
Bass Side Treble Side
7.25"
9.5" to 12"
15" to 17" 5/64" (2 mm)
4/64" (1.6 mm)
4/64" (1.6 mm) 4/64" (1.6 mm)
4/64" (1.6 mm)
3/64" (1.2 mm)
