If you meet excessive resistance, if your neck needs constant
adjustment, or you're not comfortable adjusting it yourself,
take your instrument to an authorized Fender
String Height Adjustment (Action) for Electric Guitars & Basses
First, check your tuning. Then, using your ruler, measure the
distance between the bottom of each string and the top of the
17th fret. Using the 1.5mm hex wrench, adjust the bridge
saddles to height according to the recommendations of the
chart below, then re-tune. Don't be afraid to experiment
with the height a little bit, until it feels right. If you play with
a light touch, you can get away with lower action. If you play
hard, you'll need a little higher action to avoid fret buzz and rattles.
