I can’t believe they finally got rid of Sam lmfao

How do I achieve low action on a strat?
I spent all day yesterday trying to setup my new guitar with low action but I couldn't get it as low as I wanted without fret buzz or it fretting out.

I compared my strat to my esp which had my ideal action right out the box and noticed the nut height is higher and also the frets are lower than on my strat.

My friend said that the action on strats can't be too low because of the trem bridge, but I'm not sure if he really knows what he's talking about.

I've been googling and read a variety of things, but I don't want to just start changing random parts on my guitar.

tl;dr: how do I set my action on my new strat low like on metal guitars.

Thanks for starting us off. The Kin/gg/™ appreciates your help. Only five more to beat last thread's total:

what kind of strat is it?
if its not at least an american performer or standard, you need some fretwork

its a player series strat

If it's an American performer or standard he still needs some light fretwork, and the tremolo bridge on the american performer is awful. Fender wanted it that way because the standard was competing with the more expensive strats. As it turns out, actual guitar players are less enticed by factory electronics gimmicks than anticipated and prefer to add that stuff themselves, but things like nicer tremolos are what they're all about.

So the cheap standard with its nice bridge had to go, or else nobody would pay $1500, aka the price of an all mahogany nitro finished set neck SG standard with neck binding, a one to two piece body, and depending on the year, pricey high end 57 classic pickups, for two to three pieces of alder glued together, painted with cheap polyurethane, and screwed onto a piece of maple (also coated in cheap poly) with some of fender's most often replaced stock electronics thrown in.

>Fender is /ourbrand/!

actual guitar players also don't care about or have a use for compound radius meme guitars.

Wat do lads

>i need to shred
Everyone needs to shred.
>having to repaint your guitar is a waste of time
Yes.
>If it's a pastel colored short scale offset its gay
Yes.

you'll be going down a rabbit hole of junkies, poorfags, and assholes
don't do it

I agree. Fender USA's price to quality ratios are so ridiculous they shield Gibson from being the exclusive target of my distaste.

I only play Dean and PRS guitars these days, the big two can't compete.

>dean
im sorry, user

Dean USA.

>I judge every brand by the worst guitar with their name on it posters
So where's /gg/s burning hatred for gibson because studio/tribute/faded guitars are china tier trash stamped "USA"?

Gibson sued Dean because they were scared.

Dean USA guitars are almost PRS quality.

No one cares

You will never see a Gibson USA with anything better than poorly bookmatched AA maple, chewed up binding with paint left on it, and uneven staining.

Not even a Custom shop.

Sad but true.

When you get your first real Dean, you'll use your Gibsons as seconds.

A clean wiring job is pointless, when you have that ridiculous looking headstock.

Is there any guitar company that makes modular guitars where every part can be switched out without soldering?

Say his name, bitch.

He will return, user. Give it time.

Punk and it's derivatives are great for bass playing, but don't join a NOFX style band, since that shit is just as cringe to punks now as it is to everyone else.

that wraparound doesn't fit the guitar

so does the H-S-H setup

barely anything fits lol. I just want the body really

Dafuq?!

I fucking love how bass sounds live. On a rock/metal record it's hard to feel it but live it fucking steals the show

be honest, the dean usa is not the norm as far as sales
its mostly metal kids who buy the cheapest thing and think looks>playability
