Anyone who's comfortable with precision tools should have no problem setting up their own guitars. Nobody can set up your guitar for your playing better than yourself. Good job digging in and learning, but word of caution, you can develop a case of GAS for older abandoned instruments now! |

I've been doing guitar repairs for 25 years now and I can assure you that some people are much better off having a pro setup rather then a DIY. A lot of times I will even get people in who have been doing it all their lives under the impression that nobody can do it better then themselves and they are quite surprised when their guitar comes back in the best playing condition they have ever seen.
On the other hand it's true that it's not terribly complicated, some just plain and simply don't get it. If anything having a real good setup to start is a good metric for anything you want to DIY in the future. |

Yeah well I think it's too late for that. Every Saturday I say to the missus. 'Do you want to come with me to the music store?" She says no it's boring so I go on my own and come back with another gadget..lol

Eventually I will progress to another more expensive and better quality guitar and will get this one setup professionally like I did my acoustic. But from what I've seen of this one so far I think it has already been setup as it wasn't far off with most of the settings anyway. |

Usually when you buy a decent instrument (l'd say at least $500), they already have a good setup right at the factory or the store might offer one for free. Ymmv. |
