There is a trusrod that runs through the neck you can adjust with a Allen wrench, on an acoustic guitar you adjust through the sound hole,loosen the strings and turn1/4 of full turn at a time, clockwise direction will bow the neck, or make the strings higher so turn counter clockwise and play and listen to the strings,if the pitch is going higher then they should be getting closer to the neck, when they start buzzing stop and turn the other way1/4 turn or until buzzing stops, I hope this helps you

To lower the action on an acoustic guitar:

Usually just the saddle needs reducing.

1. Remove strings (or you may be able to just loosen them). Remove saddle, sand down the bottom a little at a time. Restring and check action.

The action can be set as low as poss without any fret buzzing or note choking on all strings and on all frets.

2. Repeat 1

If the action remains too high then there are other techniques.

The Manufacturing date of my Goya Guitar?

There is help for the older ones but not in the 93 million number range. Having said that, I would decode the serial as the 18th guitar of the 08 month in 1993. But it's a guess.

Tell me about this guitar

Pretty broad question. It's a parlour guitar, made in China. They are very highly regarded, well built, and can be used for most acoustic applications, though I've heard fingerstyle players especially like the tonality. Solid spruce top, rosewood sides, and a 3 piece rosewood/maple back, with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. It's got a 1 11/16 nut and a nice TP4T electronics package.

If you want more information on that specific guitar, email Tak with your serial number, and they will give you a production date.

Litlle Martin LXME Tuner not working properly!!!

the only other solution would be an electrical short in the wires running from the tuning box to the input cable hole. take the tunner all the way out and make sure there are no loose wires. Make sure nothing is preventing the wires from making good contact.

How do I change the battery?

Most there is a little release right by the tuner EQ that allows the tuner with battery box to tip out to replace.

Action is a bit high. Everyone is saying the DC16RGTE guitar sounds great and gives good volume. I found the one I have is not loud and it has too much boom. Is there a problem with this guitar?

Make sure the guitar CANNOT "HEAR" the amp you are using. Local regeneration (feedback below the level to sustain full feedback) will give a boom sound like in a cave. If you get near enough to the amp for feedback to build up, you can actually see the string vibrating and building up. The loudness has much to do with the amp you connect this too and the settings

Buzz from the 1st string, especially when using that string on the 2nd fret

Have the guitar setup at a reputable guitar repair shop. This is likely a truss rod setup problem which an inexperienced person should NOT attempt on an expensive guitar. It could also be that the slot in the nut is too low for that string. They can shim the nut if needed or replace it. There are several settings that have to be right to have good playability.

I have two cracks behind the bridge (parallel from the high/low E). Both run from the bridge to the bottom. What should I do? Lefty LXM1

Take it to a Luthier for a repair estimate. They can often repair cracks. They probably would have to open the guitar to do the repair. They MIGHT also replace the cracked surface.
