Answer

A: No! Many companies ship their guitars all over the world - to
different climate zones, with different humidity levels. It would be a
bad idea for them to set up their guitars perfectly in the factory
because wherever it wound up it would be all out of whack. So most
factories dial their guitars in ONLY PART WAY before shipping. Your
guitar almost definitely can play a lot better with only a simple Set Up.
