My 2 cents:
Mine had fairly low action out of the box...but, I noticed as the nut started to wear, I got quite a bit of fret buzz from the low "E" and "A" strings. To solve this, instead of just automatically raising the action, I would insert a very tiny, tiny piece of tissue paper in the string slot of the nut. That worked for a while, then I went to a larger string gauge...necessitating a SLIGHT raise of the action to accomodate the larger strings...in doing so, the action "FELT" almost the same.
However, over time, that just increased the wear on the nut and now my poor little Model 1 needs a "nut transplant". But, who to trust it to. I haven't heard the greatest of accounts of Rick himself doing repair work in anywhere NEAR a timely manner, so I need to take mine to someone locally (SoCal)....anyone know not just a "good" repair tech, but a "GREAT" repair tech in the LA/OC area??
