Should I use silk and steels?

[veil]

My guitar needs a neck reset but since I can't afford one right now I was trying to think of ways to improve the action. I shouldn't really do a truss rod adjustment because the neck isn't convex/concave, and I can't shave the bridge/saddle.

 

I was wondering if I should use some lighter strings, and I was thinking maybe Silk & Steel? What do you think? Would that help? If not, do you have other suggestions?

I'm not sure but i think if you get lighter strings(or take them off)your neck will arch back just like if you were doing a truss rod adjustment.I don't think your going to be able to get any lower action unless you shave the saddle and/or bridge in your case.

 

Lighter strings or lower tension strings might help with the feel abit.Might be a good time to practice some slide.

Yeah, they won't effect the action on the guitar.

 

But they are very nice strings. I've had them on my Tak Jumbo for a while, I really like them.

Well, crap.
