I just remembered about some YouTube video's I found a while back that have some great tips on guitar setup. The guy who does them is an Italian luthier, he has a cool Italian accent that keeps it interesting. :P
I seem to recall reading somewhere that when you fret a note on any string between the second and third fret, you should have about a .005inch (5 thousandths of an inch) clearance between the top of the fret and the underside of the string when you have the nut height/and, or, the string slots at the correct depth, you can check this by using a set of Automotive feeler gauges, all you have to do is select the feeler gauge marked .005 from the set of gauges, fret the strings between the second and third fret, and then see if you can slide the .005 gauge between the string and the top of the fret, the string should just touch the gauge if the clearance is correct, hope that helps.
