im not really sure usually im used to high action on my acoustics, but its beating the xxit outta me to play barre chords, its not the strength, but i have to apply soo much pressure that its slows me down and the playing isnt soft..and sounds horrible, on an acoustic. [so were getting that sorted out later after work]

on my electric i can afford a bit more high action cus its smooth to play, i have .10 strings.

Now what exactly were u getting at havng it too low...i mean about the gibsons cus i really like them and would like to get one maybe someday..so they are high action..or does that vary with the style u play say metal would go better on high action

its prolly just according to how u feel best playing high or low action...but i havnt played other guitars cept my own.
