Спасибо за ответы, ребята, и извините, если я спровоцировал спор
For what it's worth i don't see any animosity on Mmak's part and also i have the utmost respect for Gary or for that matter anyone who's been successful in this trade for 40 years. I've seen previous post from both of you and you both seem like decent helpful blokes.
I can see you were both trying to help and simply have a difference of opinion which is fine and i hope we can leave it at that.
So back to the topic...Gary, i did lower the relief to almost zero when i was setting the guitar up. When i fret the low E at the 1st and 14th frets the gap between the 6th fret and string is pretty much invisible but tapping on the string makes it ping so i guess there's a tiny bit of relief there. I'd imagine zeroing it completely would bring the straight edge up a little but not sure it'd give another 2mm.
Having lent the allen key to a friend, i can't really attempt it right now but i can give it a go in a few days.
Mmak, i bought the guitar in a london music store called Chappells of Bond Street. They specialise in Yamaha, stocking the L series (including 26 and 36) and the FG and APX series. They do not have an in house luthier or tech but some of the staff are players and give the guitars a quick check when they come in.
They also sell grand pianos among other instruments so they're not specialists but they were one of the places close to me with the LL16 at a good price where i could try before purchase.
Anyway, i took a few pics which might make things a bit clearer...

Я, наверное, просто параноик по поводу всей проблемы ... гитара настроена так, как мне нравится, без шумов, когда играю довольно громко, и она построена как танк (особенно этот блок шеи! ) так что это, вероятно, даст мне много лет удовольствия. Я просто хотел убедиться, что я не получил глупость.
