Okay heres the deal... The strings need to be closer to the neck. Which way do I turn the thruss rod, FACING THE NECK from the BOTTOM STRAP BUTTON. Its a Fender California series sonoran


Okay, here's the reciprocal deal... CLOCKWISE turning will draw the fingerboard closer to the strings. It should be noted however that this may or may not be the appropriate remedy for your high action.

Purchase a replacement saddle. Very carefully and as even as possible sand down the saddle (sand the bottom of the saddle) in small increments putting the sanded saddle in the bridge and then tuning to pitch. You will have to do this several times until you get the desired string height.

Because you are changing the string length your intonation will change too. There is no way to adjust the intonation after lowering the string height.

That's what I loved about the late 60's acoustics. Kingman and so on. They had Tele type barrel bridge with adjustable height and length. But the truss rod in the body really muted them down a bit.
