About string action:
1. String action is set for the style you prefer. Low action with a little fret buzz is the general setup type for most electric guitars. However, there are different expectations for action when it comes to different guitar-playing styles. For example, blues players who play tight radius vintage-era style Strats or Teles, etc. will prefer medium-high action in order to prevent "fret-out" on bends and minimal buzzing across the neck with heavy pick attack. Rock and meta l players prefer low-medium action for fast yet versatile playability. Fusion/jazz/prog metal players generally prefer lowest possible action for maximum finger gymnastics and speed.

2. Setups are performed with the use of measurements of overall string height taken from the middle of the string(12th fret) and the first fret(nut slot depth), neck relief, and neck angle in order to keep quality of work consistent, while considering fret and neck plane condition. Personal playing style and string type will affect these measurement, so it is important that you specify your preferred style in order to receive the best results.
