Getting a guitar setup has more to do with making it easier for the player to use. Guitars come out of the factory with a standard configuration for nut, bridge and string height. They play, but you may not like the feel. In a way, an improper setup can handicap a player. If Conner is really serious about a career in guitars/music, he should talk to his instructor about how each guitar feels to him and what can be done, if anything, to make them play/feel better. They are not going to be setup the same way now. Fender is really different from Gibson out of the factory. I wouldn't rush out to the shop and have it "fixed" yet.
