less relief / flatter = lower action
more relief / bow = higher action
do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your guitar...

Thanks! BTW - that little white thing in the lower left is a reflection from something. Sure looks like a hole, but I just checked to make sure it wasn't real.

Yeah lol that got me too when I first saw the picture. It's a reflection from the ceiling light. These babies are very shiny and anything will reflect on them
