Hello all. I'm wanting to start doing my own guitar setups. I swap guitars so much that I would save a lot of money and time if I buy the tools and learn to do it myself. Plus, I know some techs out there aren't worth the money they charge.
So to get started, what tools do I need?
I know that I need truss rod tools.
Straight Edge - I've heard I need notched or some say just use a normal ruler. Would notched be worth it?
String Action Gauge ruler - No brainer I think
Feeler gauges - I guess helps in multiple ways, but I will best use them when filing nut for bigger gauges
Nut Files - Pretty obvious
Understring radius gauges
Am I missing anything?
