Setting The String Action - Yamaha ERG121C Owner's Manual

— Bridge —
NOTE: Be sure to perform any necessary adjustments to the
truss rod before performing the following adjustments.
String height refers to the space between the strings and frets,
and has an affect on playability.
String height is adjusted with the bridge and/or the saddle on
the bridge. Adjust height by alternately turning the screws little
by little on the left and right sides.
Set too high and the instrument is hard to play. Too low results
in fret noise.
Adjust so that the space between the string and the last fret
measures as follows:
