If you're talking about your guitar's action (the height of the strings off  the fingerboard) it can be lowered or raised. I'd take it to a guitar shop with a good repair guy or girl 🙂 and ask them.

I know this is a little late but...I've been setting my action at 3/32" for low E and 5/64" for the high E both at the 12th fret. Hope that helps.

Thanks Bill.  My guitar is a little over 3.5/32 and 2.5/32.  About to take it down a bit.
