Guitar newb here. I just bought a Rogue (very cheap, yet recommendable guitar), and I think the action is a bit high, but I don't have that much of an issue playing it. For reference, how low is a "good", playable action as far as measurements go?

Having the guitars action at a comfortable height is a lot to with personal preference.

This is a pretty good article about string height http://www.guitaranswerguy.com/action-a-beginners-guide-to-understanding-string-height/

It's always good to have a new guitar set up by a professional so you can get the most out of the instrument.
