How do you adjust string action and intonation on a guitar so it doesn't look like the strings are an inch off the fret board and so I don't get horrible fret buzz? :)

Yeah I have this acoustic, and the strings are so far that it hurts. The neck is bent, I don't think there's any way to fix it.

I'm sorry I can't help you Smitty, but on one of my old guitars I had this thing with a screw by where the strings ended that would make them closer. Fucked up the tuning though.

try tuning it down a bit, see if that helps any.
