well.... a 3 part answer
tuning, to adjust the strings is the first place to start, righty tighty rules of course, unless the guitar was strung and the tuners where going the opposite way... in that case its lefty tighty haha... but yeah grab your trusty guitar tuner and get them to where you want... thats step one and may answer your question.
the more advanced adjustments and answers.
action (string height) you can on the bridge of the guitar first , this is like an elevator lowering or making the strings higher for comfort, once its where you like it around the first 6 or so frets than you may or may not have to adjust the neck.
to adjust the neck we adjust we have to remove the plate on the head of the guitar is the usual place. I've owned a lot of electrics and its always been the head.... tightening it makes the strings go closer to the 24th fret, loosening it is the opposite effect. A dead straight neck will make the guitar play amazing and to experienced players we hear//feel the difference because once its perfectly even on the 1st and 21/22/24th depending on guitar you've got you will feel a difference and be able to play faster.

How do you adjust electric guitar pickups?
The screws around them adjust the height of them on most guitars. The closer to the strings, the more the pickup resonates the strings vibration. The further away from the strings, the less the pickup can resonates the strings vibration. If you have one pickup sounding louder than the other, move a pickup closer or further away from the strings to produce a better volume balance of the pickups.
My guitar is making vibrations with the neck and sounds horrible because the strings are too loose on drop tunings?
If the strings are hitting the frets and making noise that means that either your action is too low on the instrument or the tension of the strings might be too low. The easiest thing to do would be to try another set of strings with the higher tension. If that does not help, you have to take your guitar to a repair shop and they can adjust the action (easier done for electric than for classical guitars).
