I just bought a new acoustic guitar Yamaha F310, I am a beginner, and I found that the action is quite high when I first bought it, so normally how much will a

person charge you when you take the guitar to them to adjust the action so that you can play easier.

Just buy another guitar saddle or bridge and papersand the bottom to get suitable action for your liking

i advise you need to send it for professional service/setup. average cost around RM100-200.

ususally they will replace that white thing at the bridge to a lower one.

but if that not enough, need to sandpaper la.

I would suggest that you try with the default settings first . Unless your guitar action is way out of factory tolerances , a lower setting may not always be the best option for a beginner's guitar. Decides after a few lessons , build up your fingers strength or try to do a comparison with similar instruments.

I'm curious how high is high?

do note that lowering action would throw off intonation as well. so unless you know what you're doing, send it to a guitar tech.

i think yamaha has pretty good action, and also F310 is pretty much a recommended beginner's guitar by many. maybe you're just not used to it yet?

lol play a few more other guitars and decide. you probably are just new to playing guitar.

get an allen wrench and adjust the truss rod
