I used to live in United mexican states. I took my Baby Taylor with me into Sweden where I live now, and my guitar at present has the action way besides high (information technology was not like lid).
I "installed" a D'Addario Two Way Hidratation arrangement a couple of days ago to right any hidratation problems may have ocurred.
In given case that doesn't work, what else should I look into?
The neck bow is right, so at that place is no need for trussrod adjustment, every bit far as I can tell.

As always-relief is either right or it's not. Fix it to .004-.008 and exit information technology alone. Cranking effectually on a truss rod with no clue of it'southward role is request for trouble.

If you had it stowed in a storage compartment in a commercial airline it was probably exposed to some pretty serious cold besides as rapid air pressure changes.Hello.I used to alive in Mexico. I took my Babe Taylor with me into Sweden where I alive now, and my guitar now has the action way too high (it was not similar hat).
I "installed" a D'Addario 2 Manner Hidratation system a couple of days ago to correct any hidratation problems may take ocurred.
In given instance that doesn't work, what else should I expect into?
The neck bow is right, so there is no need for trussrod aligning, as far equally I tin tell.
I would accept information technology to a tech. Sounds like it needs a truss rod adjustment merely it could need more than that. Just because it looks like the right amount of relief doesn't mean it is.
Also, I suppose it is possible that the air pressure level and cold could cause a problem with the bracing and mayhap the body has bellied from the tension of the strings.
Y'all might be able to meet it if that is the situation. Look across the top of the guitar from the side so that y'all are looking at it as if you were in a swimming poll and half your eyes were nether water, looking beyond the water in a straight line. Come across if it looks equally if the bridge and body accept raised a little and/or the span and saddle are tilting forward.
Likewise see if it is intonated the manner it was before, that is some other clue.
Play it and listen for buzzes that didn't exist before.
Did you loose the strings up before the guitar was shipped? That is always an important thing to do.

...my guitar at present has the activity way besides loftier (it was not like hat).I "installed" a D'Addario Two Way Hidratation organization a couple of days ago to right any hidratation problems may have ocurred.
The neck bow is right, then at that place is no need for trussrod aligning, as far as I can tell.
I'd re-cheque the cervix relief. Do information technology like this: put a capo betwixt the nut and the first fret, then hold downwards the bass E string on the 14th fret and then encounter what the relief between the bottom of the string and the top of the 7th fret is really like. You may discover it is significantly college than you previously idea. If it's still fine then you are most likely right in assuming the guitar is either likewise damp or also dry. In that example get yourself a hygrometer and put that and the guitar back in the case for a day and then check it and run into what the reading is at that time. Anything over 60% or under 35% is going to be a serious problem and will demand to exist adjusted accordingly.
I suppose information technology's possible that the saddle has risen upwards out of the slot a little bit. That could happen if the guitar is likewise moist, thus squeezing the saddle and pushing information technology up. That'south why you lot need a hygrometer, to find out if that'due south possible. If you practice and you put it in there case as I suggest and you observe that in the example the reading is high (like 60% or more) and exterior is significantly lower, then your guitar is over-hydrated.

that'due south a new oneI suppose it'due south possible that the saddle has risen upward out of the slot a petty bit. That could happen if the guitar is too moist, thus squeezing the saddle and pushing information technology upward.
increased humidity tin cause the height
itself to swell up and increment the action, simply not the saddle or the span.just find a guitar tech to gear up it up, those guitars are easy to right since the necks come right off.I took my Baby Taylor with me into Sweden where I live now, and my guitar at present has the action way too high (it was not like that).

that'due south a new iincreased humidity tin can cause the elevation
itself to swell up and increment the action, simply not the saddle or the span.
I was running out of ideas nigh how this could take happened to the guy. I've seen wood expel nails from contraction and expansion and then figured this wasn't such a far-fetched idea.
The OP hasn't come up dorsum to the thread so I guess nosotros'll never know what really caused it.

heed yous i think information technology came that fashion.
about acoustics come loftier do yous tin adjust it down to what y'all like i presume.
the neck is straight, and i can see its a trivial loftier past looking.
