Question about action on Yamaha CG172SF
|
|
|
Hello, I'm interested in the Yamaha CG172SF (or a CG171SF) if still available. Several months ago, I was at a Guitar Center Store and tried both of them (at the time, they still had a 171), but I didn't buy either of them. Now, I'm ready to get one of them, but if I remember correctly, when I played them, the action seemed high on both of them, higher than what I'd expect on a flamenco. My question is, do any of you know whether there is enough saddle on either model to be able to lower the action down to 3mm or below? The closest store to me is about 200 miles away, so I can't just run in and check it. Thanks, Louis

but I really want a new one, either a 171 or a 172. My real question was about whether I'd be able to lower the action. hi,Luis, last night I finally had the opportunity to try this famous new 172 SF; a friend of mine (much younger than me :-) and beginners on guitar) was able to have it sent from the U.S. (this model is not sold in Europe, at least not in Italy), he wished a my opinion on it. .... well, now about the action: it was 3mm at 12 fr, I think is ok on this guitar, and there were no buzz at all. I don't think you need to lower the action! ..... for the price it is sold, this factory guitar is very convenient! ciao, giambattista
