I am truly thankful to everyone who took the time to respond to my question about setting the action. Last night I took the strings off the Les Paul with the highest action to get to work. Per recommendations here the first thing I did was check the frets. The straight edge rockers on the 5th fret, noticeably higher then the rest. The action on the first fret looked good from the factory so I was planning on going right to the saddle need to address the fret problem first. I tried to shim the neck to increase the break action and lower the action in a way that is easy to reverse and sure enough as soon as I lower the action even the smallest amount the C string buzzes badly.
