Your musical instrument needs a tune up, just like your car

Guitar necks are generally made out of wood with metal inserts known as frets. The relationship between the guitar strings and the fret is known as the "action". Most guitar manufacturers set the action somewhere between 3/32″ and 7/64″. The higher the action, the more difficult it is to depress the guitar strings creating fatigue and poor playability. Should the guitar neck shift, or warp due to humidity or aging of the wood, the action may become too low creating fret buzz and fret-outs. Due to the precise standards required for good playability and the fact that wood tends to shift & change over time, all string instruments require periodic maintenance an adjustment. If your guitar has become difficult to play a simple "setup" may resolve the problem.
