With as many definitions of "playability" as there are players, I think that's an impossible question. Nut width, neck profile, scale length, string gauge, body size, action, string spacing, etc. all play into what an individual finds comfortable. Setup also plays a big role in how "playable" a guitar is. The same goes for playing style.

What is comfortably low action for a fingerstylist could be a buzzing nightmare for a bluegrasser... and what's comfortable for that bluegrasser could be that fingerstylists undoing.
