Okay, first I know this cheap Squier version of a Strat will never play like a "real" guitar. That much I can accept. My problem may have some to do with being spoiled I have been playing bass in gigging bands for over a decade and have rarely played anything less professional than a Les Paul Studio. Now I am learning guitar in hopes of starting my own project and got this Squier as a starter guitar. The action is TERRIBLE, I have tried everything short of taking it to a Luthier because I am in Germany for the next year I probably can't. I have adjusted the truss rod according to a guitar setup manual I bought adjusted the saddles (almost bottomed out) and still the action is worse than any guitar I have ever played. Any suggestions.
