Hi, guys. Tom here.
It's no emergency, but next time I change the strings on my gutiar, I'd like to make the action a tad higher.
I like low action, but the action is a fraction low, causing the occasional buzz.
Should I go ahead and put something under the saddle? Any suggestions? Thanks!

call up the service department and ask them to send you a bridge shim

Or cut up a match book cover. You want the shims to be 1/32 thick or about .030" That will give you 1/64th at the 12th fret, usually enough for that slight adjustment. This will hold you over till the shim arrives from the service dept.
