As long as it's comfortable for you to play, plays in tune and doesn't buzz to the point where it bothers you, it doesn't matter if it's lower or higher than the factory recommended specifications.
#The truss rod on modern guitars affect primarily frets 3 through 12 ... at least on all my instruments. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jun 27 2019, 10:16 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Bridge and saddle height will affect the action over the entire fretboard.
When playing clean or not amplified, does the guitar buzz at the first and second frets? If so, the nut may be cut a little too low. It's all a compromise really. Neck relief and angle, bridge height, nut height as well as string gauge. Keep messing with it. You'll get it. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

to do this right you need the right tools which would cost you more than going to a professional . You can do everything right but in the wrong order and be in a worse place than when you started. I would recommend having it set up professionally and then start trying to understand what , how and why it was done that way. But... As mentioned, he lives in Libya. 3000 kms from any guitar tech throughout the foreseeable future. A few tools and few tries should get it. In the grand scheme of things, a set up is pretty basic. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
