I was wondering if my action at the neck could be adjusted lower, while using a standard .042 string, with string buzz?

If you set your action too low you will likely get at least some string buzz, but before you start lowering the saddle height you might take a look at the relief on the neck. In my experience, a simple truss trod tweak--about a quarter turn--makes a significant change in playability.

If you're taking you're guitar to a tech, make sure you explain what you want and decribe your playing style (light attack, heavy attack, whatever) so that the tech will have a better idea of how to set it up for you. Remember: it's all about what works with your preferences and fits your style and the guitar.
