So the fact the guitar has the potential to go very low will help sell it.
I personally don't like it too low though.
*This is not meant to kick anything off about what is or is not considered 'low', just mho on what 'low' should feel like, is all.
My reasons are;
1, shows a properly cut nut
2, Level frets
3, proper fret finishing (no flat parts)
4, Saddle notches are cut properly (mostly aimed at LPs) and Tele bridges have correct radius.
5, neck does not need shimming or adjusting at the pocket a-la fenders etc.
which leads to a
well setup instrument.
some instruments yes it can affect tone but i've had a fair few where it's just as nice and ballsie high or low. A low action makes it easier and much, much more comfortable to play. I play my set with a tonne of barre chords and lead and putting minimal pressure helps my speed and accuracy.
Would you rather a guitar you can raise or lower the action as freely as you'd like? or one where you can only have it a certain height or above because it'll cause issues?
you can always raise it and you'd be safe in the mind those frets are nice and level.
