well, ya lost me.....
You're talking about two different things.
When you are speaking about "the strings close to the fretboard", you are talking about the action. The action, and everything else, on my 814, right out o fthe box was perfect for me; no setup required. If you feel that it is too high on yours, then I would find a good, local, trust-worthy luthier who can perform a setup and adjust the action for you.
The capo is about pitch change or transposition. It really doesn't speak to the action of the guitar. If you play an open Emajor-chord, while capo'd on the 3rd fret, you are in fact playing a G Maj chord.
