[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 13114910, member: 55"]As said, traditionally classical guitars do not have truss rods. If the action is too high, unfortunately, a decent luthier would have to take the neck off and do some major work, and on all but high-end guitars that would cost more than the guitar was worth. I'm not familiar with this maker, but it does not look to me to be a guitar that would be justify investing in a neck-job. Not that it is a bad guitar, just not in the range where most people would want to invest hundreds of dollars in reworking the neck joint. ( A good luthier could give you an opinion on quality of the guitar versus cost of the work). I'd think it would be fine to do some work on the finish, but don't do any sanding on the body of the guitar, and only very lightly if at all on the fretboard.[/QUOTE]
