I have a couple of questions about setup.

Are there other considerations besides action and intonation when setting up a guitar?

Besides adjusting the truss-rod for relief,
bridge saddles (for action/intonation),
and the tremolo springs / claw;
are there any other adjustable parts on the guitar without changing parts?

Just trying to learn as much as I can.

That would be Acrophobia.

What is Non-Acrophobia?

Bathophobia - fear of great depths?

Plateophobia - fear of flatness?

Or the other way around: acroholic - addiction to heights?

Non-Acrophobia = Fear of not being high.

I don't have a fear of heights, I have a fear of widths.
I am afraid of things that are really wide.
I live in West Virginia, and if you got a look at the women from West Virginia, you would know what I am talking about!!! :lol:

Hi kong! also for example on one of my strats I have the schaller locking tuners and they can also be adjusted by screwing a little screw on top of the pegs so they wont move .... also how you set the strings in the tuners is very important so they wont slip...and also you can set the bridge tension by how many springs you have in the back of your guitar!! i personally like it really hard so I use 4 springs right now!! thats all I can think of :)
