Help! Quick JP12 Setup Question

[Chalen]

Hi all,

Assuming the relief is correct and the bridge is parallel with the body, am I right in assuming the next step in order to lower the action is the saddle heights?

It has been set up (though not quite as low as I'm after) so I know the string heights follow the radius of the neck. On that basis if I lower each saddle by the same amount I'm not going to screw anything up right?

Lastly, would say 1/2 turn on each be considered a minor adjustment? And which direction will lower them?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers
Al

Yes. You can also chech the term base and see it's flush with the top of the guitar. If it is or is very close just lower saddles. Counterclockwise turn. Just a little at a time. Retune and check. Also make sure you play everywhere on the neck between adjustments and make sure you can bend notes etc. if you bring down the action too low you'll notice problems.
