So..I got my 6 month old MIM Standard Tele' set up about 3 months ago. The tech got it pretty much perfect with the string action and such for my taste. I kind of promised myself that I was not going to tamper with a good thing.
But..then came this evil season called winter and of course the furnace is on in my house and humidity is much lower than it was when I had the setup done. I have noticed the string height on my guitar is noticeably higher. Not terrible and it sounds fantastic, but it is different and slightly more difficult to play.
I'm not real confident about doing my own setups, but I guess that I could lower the action on the strings alright. But..would the truss rod then need an adjustment also? That, I must say, makes me a little nervous and I have don't much confidence at all.
As mentioned, I love the sound I have right now and I think I could get used to the higher strings. But, I am wondering if I leave it until the weather and humidity goes back to like before, will my guitars action lower itself so the action would be similar to what it was right after the setup?
This all probably sounds pretty dumb...but that's me. Thanks.
