Leeuwen jazzmaster string action, fret level.
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2024 3:57 am
Hello!
How low action can you get on your Leeuwen jazz?
Preferably answers in metric system if you measure from the bottom of your outer E strings to top on fret 12.
I can get a relatively good action but would like a tiny bit lower. I have a good neck relief, about 0,2 mm. The nut is good and properly slotted.
I haven’t done any fret levelling, except on one fret. But given the small frets I’m bit worried to do a fret levelling on the hole neck if it’s not really necessary. The frets are so small so to make them even smaller and shorten the lifespan of the frets seems like the last step.
Any insights?
