For us, the neck profile is one of the best things about the APX500II; slim and rounded, it’s electric-comfortable. Playability is very good, and much helped by the medium 634mm/25″ scale length, and the action at the nut is really good for a guitar in this price range.
Also know, does tightening truss rod lower action?
Loosening the truss rod is done to correct backbow. Tightening a truss rod (turning clockwise) increases compression, thereby pushing the center of the neck toward the strings.
In this way, how do I know if my guitar action is too high? There are several telltale signs that a guitar is in need of a set-up. If the intonation is off, the action is too high, the guitar buzzes when you fret a note, strings stop vibrating and buzz as you bend them, frets feel sharp, or neck appears warped, then your guitar definitely needs a set-up.
In this manner, how do you adjust the action on a Yamaha acoustic guitar?
How high should the action be at the 12th fret?
For electric guitars, in our opinion, a good default string height at the 12th fret is typically about 6/64th of an inch (2.38mm) on the bass side and 4/64th of an inch (1.59mm) on the treble side.

What is the best way to amplify an acoustic guitar?
To amplify an acoustic guitar, we first need to convert its acoustic sound into an electrical signal, which requires either a microphone or a pickup. Mics can be effective in quiet settings, but present challenges when you’re playing loud gigs, or performing in a setting where a mic will also pick up other instruments.
