Maybe not. Some guitars just have a naturally high action. Coincidentally, my first guitar was an old Stella that my Dad used before he bought his Gibson LG-1. That Stella had an action you could drive a truck under. It's amazing I stuck with playing the thing, thinking back to it now.

Playability is one disadvantage of a high action, which is offset by a better tone (for the higher action) they say. But often, too high an action will cause the notes to be too sharp when they are fretted. Tough to get the intonation right then.
