That does really help in many ways Moe thank you. Would you mind describing the issue with your initial guitar specifically? I've had issues with my action on my guitar on the B and high E string at the first few frets. It was obvious to anyone with eyes they were much higher than the other strings. Yet the local music store luthier (repair guy) said nope. Can't lower the action. Which I could not understand. I changed strings to these Elixir I really don't like at all (I had light Ernie ball and loved them). So curious what issues you had. And what guitar you replaced it with? As for the electric I don't have a huge budget can anyone recommend a good beginner one with a lot of bang for my buck. (300$) That's all I can do unless that's not good I can save I guess. Thanks for your help! Much appreciated.
