Things is, at one point I got pretty good at set ups but even then, it would be periodic tweaks and I would still bring it in to be set up every 4ism months.
Thing is, a guitar is a complex assembly of wood, metal, mechanical machining (tuners) and a balance of tension with the strings...The kind of thing I like someone with experience to figure out for me. Set ups aren't cheap and wouldn't need to do it as often as I did but at least set the guitar off down the right path by a pro.
