So i have this martin. The action is a bit high but playable. I would like to have it lowered a tad though. The thing is that i have had humidity problems with it and it is just getting all healed up (healed meaning the buzzing is stopping). and im afraid if i lower the action at all it might start the buzzing to occur again. and i was planning on doin it myself but dont know if i should at all or how far to shave down casue of what has been wrong with my guitar.

So any advice on this matter would be appreciated. thanks guys

the buzzing can be from a few things. Twisted neck, worn out frets, size or tension of strings. lowering the action is ok, as long as you get someone who knows how to do it well. Just take it to a good guitar workshop, and talk to them about it, and see what they say is wrong with it.

ya thats waht i was planning. just thought id get a few other opinions. The buzzing is from the humidity though. The guy i bought it from told me and many other stores that looked at it. and since ive put 3 humidifiers in (AHAHA) its been working on keeping that buzz down. but thanks for your help man. appreciate it
