Unhappy Problem Again !

Hi Guys

As i have already metioned, i have brought this Guitar (Yammy F310) back, as i didnt find anything better for an exchange and i was not given the Money return too .

But the store people had adjusted it for me, He first sanded the saddle and then did a few adjustments to the Truss rod too. Now again the action is higher when tune it to concert pitch !!!

I have also tried to check the relief, as UGB has mentioned (ie fretting the 1st and 16th fret of E string and inserting 2 business cards at the 7th fret) and the relief is actually almost exact, ie the business cards fit exactly !.

Now the problem is not with the saddle, neither with the neck, then what ??? Is it the nut ??? any ideas guys, sorry if i'm pestering you all a lot.

Please

Kindest Regds and Care

Are you saying the strings are still too high? What did the techs say that worked on your guitar?

That's kind of impossible. I'd guess they sanded too much off of your saddle and put in a new one that's too high. How far is the 6th string off the 12th fret when at rest/not fretted anywhere?

a ruler, a tape measure, etc. I'd say anything 3/8 of an inch or less is acceptable.
