Actions to be performed:
String Height
Trem Angle (I float mine)
Pickup Height
Intonation incl string lenght
Truss Rod (which I hope to avoid)

I know all of these (aside from pup ht) will effect the others, so what is the best order to do this in?
Also, are there any other steps that can be recommended?

id start here:

http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/tutorial1.htm

for vids of the techniques being used, check out this link to a guy on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=roc ... iew=videos

very good vids on intonation, truss adjustment, string height, changing string gauge etc etc.

after that, when you hit a block, ask here again. thats what i did at least, and although my setup is still not perfect, its much better than it was when i first got the guitar.

Personally I would do them in this order:

Truss Rod
Trem Adjustment
Recheck Truss Rod
String Height
Intonation
Pickup Height
