If you just spent $1,000 on an instrument, I wouldn't try to make this your "learning session" on setup, but it's up to you
The instrument probably needs to be properly intonated, there are tons of videos on youtube on how to do this. There are not hard and fast numbers really as each guitar is setup to each player. But generally speaking, you can lower the action, and intonate it yourself, but be very careful. If you twist the truss rod too far, you can damage the rod/neck permanently.
