I have a friend who's a bit handier than me, and does set up stuff for me occasionally if I want him to. He just recently wired the pickups to his Les Paul so he can pull out a knob to play out of phase.

Yeah, same here.. I don't touch frets.

I'm kind of in this camp. I do a lot on my own and have no trouble setting action, floating bridge, neck relief, and intonation. However, if my fret leveling has issues and I can't handle the buzzes...it's off to a pro.

I do my own due to the fact I paid a pro to do my strat and when I got it back it played like crap. i had to strip it and redo it myself. i like my action super low( if you can get a thin pick between the fret and string it's too high) A.53 pick by the way.

I always do my own set-ups. I never did before because I think guitar players tend to think that there is some sort of magic involved but after you learn some things and then more on top of that then you just know what to do to get a guitar where it should be set-up wise.
