I was talking to another guitarist recently and he asked me about how to go about improving the guitar's action. I know you can lower the stings, but I'm not really sure how or what methods there are to accomplish this without harming the guitar. Then I got to thinking that I've also read where people have filed their frets, added bone nuts and bridges, and other work. So I thought I would ask guitar players on the Mud Cat what they've done to modify their guitar to either improve playability or improve the sound? A related question: Do you need to bring your guitar to a luthier to modify it or can it be a "home improvement"?

Thanks,
