How High Do You Set Your Action? Options

[fkalich]

What brings this up, is that I raised mine in the past day. I have found that for really demanding bending and vibrato, by that I mean at the top of the neck, high speed, where you have to put some dynamics on notes, even those that are fairly quick notes, that it makes life a lot easier to raise your action. I understand that scalloping helps that, but that is not going to happen for me, at least for awhile. I had my action very low, well below Gibson spec. Now it is at spec, maybe even just a hair higher than spec. Just makes songs where you bend notes a lot, much easier to play.

edit: I am thinking that I may have to set guitars differently, some real low, others not so low. High action seems to definitely impede fast AP. Anyone else set it differently like that for different purposes?
