Action

Ibanez guitar and bass string action is set at the factory. However, there are
many reasons that an instrument's string height can change. Instruments can
be affected by changes in temperature and moisture. High string action can
make the guitar difficult to play. If the string action is too low, fret buzz or unclear
notes can occur. To remedy this, follow the instructions for the particular type of
bridge installed. In the case of string action, make sure the guitar is in tune and
the truss rod is adjusted properly. Ibanez action is set at the 14th fret. The action
may also need to be readjusted after the neck has been adjusted or strings have
been changed to a different gauge. Follow the instructions in the relevant bridge
manual to make adjustments.

* If strings other than those described above are used, gradually increase the action clearance from the treble side through to the bass side.
