In 2019 I bought a guitar from Sweetwater and paid them $45 for a low set up. It was not low enough to I paid a local luthier twice that to lower it some more. Should have not paid Sweetwater and just let the local luthier do one setup.
I expect that Sweetwater's "setup" just verifies that the default factory setup is 3/32, assumes that is as "low" as one would want, and leaves a 3/32 alone.
But I like 2/32, and assumed that would be the Sweetwater "low setup".
My mistake.
