Electric guitar set up

I thought I'd show you exactly what's involved in a typical electric guitar set up at my workshop.
There are plenty of places that advertise set ups but all that they really do is adjust the bridge and maybe the truss rod. A lot of those customers end up coming to me after all.

 For me, the very first part of a set up is talking to the player, I need to find out what they want to change, what they want to keep, their approach to playing, string gauge and tuning. A set up is a personal thing.

 Each guitar requires a different approach, this is just a typical example.
 So what do you get for your money?
 Take a look at this:

Thanks so much to The Bull Kelp Surfers for the cool soundtrack www.bullkelpsurfers.co.nz and to Mal at Oracle for putting it all together.
