After waiting a month for my Crimson Red Mahogany Strat which I sent to myself from Boston to Spain, it arrived this morning... I can't put this guitar down, I am loving it!!! Sounds great, feels great, the only thing I'd like to do is lower the action a hair at the upper register. I have never tinkered with a Strat so I'm kinda scared of messing up it's current set up ( from the factory which ain't bad at all )

Any tips on how to lower the action for the upper octive...?

Dont worry about it, pull up some setup instructions online, and follow them. There isnt much you can do that isnt reversable. Just make sure you have the right tools.

congrats on your guitar.

If you are worried about messing with your set up...

What i do is get out an old fashion thing called a pencil and piece of paper. Before fiddling with anything, I'll mark down the position of the screws (like the hands on a clock)...measure string height at various places by marking on the side of a paper. This was I can at least 'get back' to where I started.
