Don't worry, the "noob questions" doesn't exists, there are only things we know and things we don't know!
you can evaluate the neck relief by putting a capo on 1st fret, then tap on 15-16th fret (it really depends from guitar to guitar). in the middle (7th-8th fret) you may notice a small gap. if you don't, your neck is perfectly straight or worse, it curves backward (and this is ALWAYS a bad thing).
i'm recording a new video that clarifies some questions!
thanks
Couldn’t agree more with your and DrKev’s comments. Some folks seem to forget that it’s a metal string and metal frets with the string vibrating hundreds of times per second with only thousandths of an inch of space between the two when the guitar is set up with “low action”. If you can’t hear any buzzing when the guitar is amplified and you’re making music, play on!
Here's the part 2!
