High or Low?!?!

Unread post by 2StepGranny » Wed Jan 14, 2004 4:14 am

This is kind of stupid, but I was just wondering if anyone knew whether or not Dave Matthews plays with High or Low action on his guitars, or either or for some? Just kind of curious, if anyone can enlighten me it would be more useless knowledge that I can store, :wink: Thanks a bunch!

Action is how far off the frets your strings are.
