actually the Action part, you really need to find one with just within your acceptable range.. I bought a Fender acoustic previously and the action quite high, but i told myself maybe the technician could fix it,

but ,

only to a certain extend, the action is still high, but is now in my acceptable range, and i change to a lighter gauge strings.. still, i prefer lower action..  haha but no regret la, i pretty much will still pick Fender cuz i'm a sucker for it. T.T

It's the setup.

String action depends on;

1. Saddle height

2. Nut height

3. Bridge height

4. Truss rod allignment

yea bro, string action depends on all but sometimes
is like u take a waja n convert to evo 7, can convert but surely something is lacking..and there is a limitation. Same goes to the action of a guitar, some ppl buy rm500 guitar and they expect the action can be modified n adjusted as low n no buzzy as a rm6k martin guitar. Just my 2cent opinion

It can be done, like how I've done to my cheapo acoustic I've bought for RM200.

The action can be adjusted with many variables, is not just on the brand/materials/workmanship.

Cheaper guitars = massly produced = lack QC

Hence more uneven frets, higher saddle n nut, etc etc.

The only drawback is even with complete setup, still have to adjust truss rod more regularly than better built guitars with better material.

so impossible u take ur rm200 guitar go n do refret? sometimes fret wire problem? if do refret n recrown...at least also rm500-rm600?

I've the taylor 114ce for normal song writing and playing at home.
if possible, look for Ayers or Taylor 300 series and above.
Brands something is too overrated.

I brought to TGS for that technician to help me reduce the action, but they say is the best they can do before the guitar hums.. so i guess there's a limit?

Hums? You mean buzz? There's a limit, and the limit depends on your playing style / how hard you pluck / strum.

ya i think he meant cannot be lowered anymore.. like the max you can lowered on a guitar?

to me, i always feel there is a limit..but some ppl i know tell me before that once setting surely  can done

ya maybe he meant some decent guitar after setup can have even better feel, but some below average guitar can't do much to it gua? my one is the solid top version of fender. dunno which series dy..

if decent guitar then should not be a problem, and even if need modification of cutting woods n all, its worth it...but to those below rm1k..not worth it..the modification will cause easily 50% at least of the guitar value

haha my guitar cost 1.2k.. but i seriously think if i get the takamine same price as this , just without the plug-ins will sound better and playability is better. =P

hahhaa, depending on the models la...to me, if i got 1.2k, i'm go for FARIDA D12 or maybe some CORT guitar...lower end brands i would go for with low budget

Mine is Fender 120 something solid top with the fishman eq. i know that's not a good acoustic but cuz i dig Fender, i bought it.. haha 

not bad la for its price..quite reasonable..anyway its preferences..maybe i won't like it but u like it...so overall its a fine guitar for sure

After changing the original strings to lighter guage strings, the playability has improved termendously. =D
