How is the guitar set up? Is the action low?
Guitar Rodeo verifies that the action of the guitar meets factory specifications (and that the guitar plays and sounds the way we have come to expect Taylor and R Taylor guitars to play and sound) prior to shipping. This set of specifications serves many playing styles but not all of them. Many players find they can have the action lowered without encountering string buzz. Other players find they need a higher action to avoid string buzz due to a more aggressive style of playing. Final action adjustment must be done by a competent luthier who can assess your playing style in person prior to adjusting the guitar. This assures that the action will be set appropriately for your style and any further adjustments can be done easily as the technician is near your home.
