truss rod adjustments

Question to all you builders: If a guitar player enjoys low action, the neck should be as straight as possible, correct? Any other tips on getting the action perfect and subsequently learning how to do my own setups? Perhaps a link?

Most shredders I have done setups for like the neck relief as straight as possible.

The BIGGEST factor is having dressed frets.

I like a tickle of relief.

Plekking gets them level, but only a good hand done fret job will do a guitar justice.

Plekking is like Outback Steakhouse, whereas my my local Diner makes a KILLER steak!!!

Like i said in another thread. the plek'd guitars including mine have very square frets. They can make it hard to do slides. I think id rather a pro do the fret dressing. I will say the buzz is definitely minimal.
