    Thanks David, not sure I’m going that route on a brand new Martin.

    Good morning tailsawagging, you are correct it is low. It played just fine and I did straightedge the neck I gave it about .010 deflection. Even though the action was really low and it played great and very easy to fret there was something about the set-up that bothered me. I ordered a new saddle and redid it, my action now is 3/32 at the low E string and 2/32 (1/16) at the high E, I left the truss rod where I had it. As a novice when it comes to set-ups and somewhat of a beginner at learning/playing, just trying to get educated and my feet wet. I’m happy with the set up now and going to quit obsessing and going to just focus on playing, thanks man.

    Thanks Bill, it would probably require a machine shop to ensure all strings were at 3/32, that would mean the saddle would have to be sanded down at an angle because all the strings have different diameters.

    Thanks everyone for your support, I’m not by the least getting burned out, I wish there was more time in the day. I’m self employed and I have already found myself moving clients to a specific day so I can have a day off during the week to jam, lol

    Rock on.

    Thanks Chuck, too late, the guitar had a strange twang hitting the open high E string, returned it and picked up a 000-18, very pleased with it, but needs the action addressed.
