Question SETUP INFO

I play a Schecter Stiletto Extreme 5 that needs to be setup but I can't seem to find and info on what the specs are,... neck relief, string height at nut, bridge or action. I heard of using a credit card but don't mind being more exact. Anyone know where to get setup info?

There won't be specs for those things - you have to set them to what you want them to be.

And while on the subject, seems like with closer string height, slappin and poppin suffers and is a little harder,...it's less distinct, is this just physics or that I'm not adjusted to closer strings?
Like easier playing but like to slap too,..
Yeah I checked all the info posted on here and videos for specs

You can slap with a low action, just gentler. I think generally people who like a big, meaty slap / pop sound like a higher action, but you can do more intricate / fast stuff with a lower action.
