I think we all feel the same when we buy our first electric - I didn't dare move anything just in case I broke it or made it into a pile of junk. Its a bit like the DIY store syndrome where you go in hoping for advice on how to fix this problem but you don't know the real DIY language and it seems like the salesman wants to make you squirm by throwing all these different sizes and gauges at you so you feel totally stupid. But electric guitars are on the whole pretty basic ( unless yours is equipped with the Floyd Rose!!) and the best thing I ever did was to buy Dan Erlewine's Guitar Repair guide DVD or any of them for that matter. There are loads of YouTube videos on guitar set up and once you tackle it the first time it gets easier every time.

So my advice is don't throw away your cash taking your guitar to a shop or a Tech until you have watched a few set up guides and decide then if you want to have a go and who knows you may come to love it and end up setting other peoples guitars up too - that's what happened to me. I wanted to change the pickups on my second hand Mexican Strat but the only shop it town did not do work THAT difficult!! -sure they would change strings but that was it! At this stage I hadn't even changed my own strings! So I bought the guitar set up DVD and before I knew it my wife bought me a soldering iron and I was changing my own pickups! Then I set the guitar up exactly by the Fender Specifications and it was transformed! If I can do it - ANYBODY can do it!

Well, since I'm always for the sustain ill do anything to get more of it... Action I got now is okay and I can do crazy bends so I guess I'll have to live without the 'shredders action'

Although this will be kind of a problem since I also shred from time to time, and do the fast licks , "high" action would be kind of a problem...When I mean "high" , I mean the action that Fender setups MIM strats

Thanks a lot guys , you helped me , a lot !
