Action height for shredders

[EnGl]

Yeah , another topic from me
I visited luthier , he leveled my frets and all deads spots or few "buzz spots" were gone. Brilliant feel. 1.2 mm above treble E , and 1.8 above low E feels great.
I'm curious what is your action height ?
I was shocked that one on my major idols setups - Yngwie Malmsteen. 4-5 mm above high E and 6-7 mm for low E ... HOLY FU** !
I'm talking to you - shredders(mainly) and rhythm players.

I was going to bring Yngwie up to show that string height his an individual's choice and taste. I have played guitars that strings were slammed so low if you were heavy handed you would feel very uncomfortable and other guitars where you could slide a small stack of pennies under the strings.

dont look at others, find yours.

Yup. Depends on th eguiatr and your playing style. I can get away with a little over 4/32 on the low E and a little over 3/32 on the high E if the frets are perfectly leveled. This is considering top notch fret work and a level neck.

Wow , that's pretty high for me . That is 3.2 mm and 2.3 mm ...
I found my action , I'm just curious about what action prefer other players. That is great that minor adjustment can have BIG difference in tone and comfort ...
Thanks for answers , that's so funny that many people prefers so much different action. I'm wondering what action used/use EVH , Zakk Wylde or God ( also knows as Dimebag).

People that played Ed's guitars in the day stated they were a mess.

Jennifer Batten said she could not play Ed'd guitar due to the way it was set up.
