Post them up because I am pretty bored

Anyway I dont use a capo, never understood that method.

Low E: 2.0mm or .080 inches

High E: 1.8mm or .070 inches

I set all my guitars the same. I live in Aus so have no idea what a 3/64 inch is.

okay . I'll play

different for every guitar __ but never too low . the hollow body models are the highest , because ( my opinion ) they require a heavy hand . sometimes they need to be beaten into submission

action gets hot and heavy on the 21st floor, unit #2132, the girl that lives there is smoking hot

oh wait you mean...um...oh

guitar action is about the same as above, doesnt really matter really

you grab it and feel it out for a few minutes than have at it...

i try to keep it within reason but they all are different, it i cant get it low enough for my liking as it starts to buzz no matter what adjustments i make....it becomes another guitar for slide only with an open tuning...

too high it starts to feel like an acoustic.

Which is fine on acoustics, but kind of gross on electrics.

On my R9 I can fit a penny between the low E string, and fret at the 12th fret.
I can fit a nickle at the 12th fret on the high E string.
