I am. I think it may need a truss rod adjustment and it really needs a new saddle and nut, the nut is real high anyways so that would help the action. The action isn't too terrible but the neck has a bit of bow at around the 12th fret. The guitar has no case so I have it leaning strings towards a wall to bend the neck back a bit. It was always the other way for about 5 years so I think that may be a cause. It really needs to be humidified but I have nothing to do that. It's a project and it's been in my girlfriends family for years so that's why I'm not really doing much to fix the problem. I don't want to screw up the neck by turning the truss rod the wrong way.

I don't have any money so I can't bring it in to a tech but I'm pretty good with my hands which makes me think I can do a lot of it myself. Once I get some money I'm thinking about getting some nut files because I want to start building some electric guitars so having some nut files will be good for me.

Thanks ya'll for helping me
