    The term “setup” refers to adjusting the height of the strings off of the top of the frets and the amount of bow (straightness) of the neck. To increase or decrese the straightness of the neck you turn the truss rod, to lower or raise the strings you you would lower or raise the height of the saddle. There is no set height, straightness or dimension, it is player specific, meaning what is comfortable to you. If you use your search engine on the internet you will get a more detailed explanation and the do and don’ts on how to go about it, or have a qualified luthier do it for you. Hope this helps.
