How would I lower the action on my Taylor without changing the sound of the guitar And if so how would i go about getting it done?

If say take it to an authorized Taylor dealer. They go to training on how to work on these guitars and they can advise well. My local dealer in New England knows everything about Taylor guitars. They employees who do service are factory trained and they are Taylor enthusiasts.

Find an experienced acoustic guitar tech. / luthier in your area. Requires experience and you need to know what you're doing. The nut probably will need to be filed ( special files) and the truss rod adjusted to your choice of strings. Not a DIY.

Not perfect, but very close. I loosened the truss rod about a quarter turn, lowered the bridge a couple turns, and made a tiny adjustment on the bridge to intonate it. If you know how to do that, you can have it playing perfectly in 5 minutes. If not, watch enough youtube videos to figure it, save the $50 a guitar shop would charge you for 5 minutes of work, and it will be just fantastic.

There is a strap button on the bottom of the guitar, but you will need to tie the other end of the strap to the neck, above the nut

You have to make sure the string you want to sound aligns with the indentation underneath the bow. You then gradually get the bow (on position, blue light) close to the string, since the mechanism of the bow is based on magnetically making the string vibrate. Also, make sure your guitar has good volume. A little distorsion would increment the effect.

Like the other guy said, it has "in" & "Out" jacks... and I have mine at the end of all my other effects and out goes to the amp so the wah will be on with any other effects you may have on. There are several other wah's out there but the Cry Baby is the one used since the 60's, simple and reliable... I have had nothing but great luck with ALL Dunlop products... just plug the damn guitar in and play :)

If you're using the guitar thru then you don't want any guitar in the digitech mix. Turn the knob marked guitar off. Mic input knob on the back of digitech set at about 10:00 to 11:00. I have 2 of these: one for my guitar setup & one for my piano setup using the guitar thru for both. No noise in either setup. Try another amp or dirctly into a PA system.

I recently put this in my GS Mini after using Taylor's ES-Go up which was alright. My guitar tech suggested the K&K Wow, Much better tone and volume. And you still have that passive pu quality Good luck!

I think your talking about the guitar tuner. The tuner did not work for me though. on the good side this is a good guitar.

It shows you exactly what ever key you want by just tuning and watching as it goes down or up Half or whole. Example E down to D#. Very easy tuning. Heres a site you can check, www.guitartricks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=39194

I purchased mine a year ago and it does have this flaw your mentioning. I brought it in the US and brought it with me to Argentina so I couldn't change it or anything like that. Right now the solution I've found is plug in the guitar to a DI box and then to the Focusrite. That way I get a very pristine sound without that annoying whistle.

The action is adjustable at the bridge; mine is set quite low, with no buzzing of the strings inadvertently hitting against the frets. I find this guitar extremely easy and satisfying to play.

Bill you can get used to it real easy--just clamp it to the headstock..then when you want to use it just reach for the lever--opens right up ! A couple of tries and you'll have it down pat.

You can try adjusting the neck or may be a flaw in a fret. Mine was great out of the box with just a little adjustment in the action.

It's okay but it sounds boxey. It sounds better thru a PA or an acoustic amp as there are more highs and lows. Taylor make a really great version of this type of guitar but at triple the price. I'm still foolin' around with it but I feel it has great potential.

Haven't had the need to lower them. I usually play it in open G tuning or double drop D for some authentic southern delta blues so using a slide on it the string height works for me! Your best bet would be to google or YouTube it and see.. im sure there is a way you could shave thebridge but you would have to make sure you do it in a way you still have your radius of the neck in line with the bridge!

I like the action low, so I have both lowered and raised the action using the truss rod. it's easy and one can find instructions online. Lowering the saddle is more complicating but I have not needed to do that.
