I have a classical guitar, this guitar has a "low action", means the strings are close to the frets. Guitar with low action would be easier to play and can play faster. This guitar produces nice tone when i play it soft (yeap..I'm a soft player) but it creates unwanted buzzing noise during aggressive playing such as strumming and flamenco style of playing (i seldom play this). Some said it's my right hand technique problem, not the guitar problem. I'm facing this problems and i'm thinking to send it to a shop for adjusting the action. What do u think?

trust rod? hehe...

classical guitars have no truss rod

also classical guitars shouldnt be low, so the problem could be somewhere else.
anyway, the only way to increase the action is to put on a new bridge saddle.

You might wanna raise your nut too.

low action classical/acoustics are pretty rare if they come stock.
If you're getting buzzing from open strings, change the nut.
If you're getting them from higher frets, change the bridge.

Better yet, just go change both and have the luthier adjust it to a suitable height.

hi guys,
i'm having problem with my guitar actions too. I'm using squire 51's which the bridge are strat style.
I stupid enough to adjust the bridge height and now it's was a mess !
