    Default Questions about setting up a guitar at home -- what's required?

    So at the urging of some fellow fretters, I'm now interested in teaching myself/learning how to do a decent setup and some regular guitar maintenance. I've been afraid of screwing up guitars in the past, but now I have some guitars that probably need a truss rod adjustment, so I'm willing to dive in.

    First is a request for a link to a setup guide. Anybody know of a decent site or two to guide me through this? I've found some decent ones just by googling, but sometimes the best sites are pretty well hidden, so if anyone has a really good site, I'd appreciate it. I was thinking video would be extra useful, but I'll take whatever I can get.

    Secondly, what tools do I need for the job? I have a somewhat basic multimeter, though that's not really involved in neck/action/intonation setup. Are there any specific measuring tools you use in a setup? List anything and everything that comes to mind or that you use when setting up your axe.

    All input is welcome! It's fret.net brain-picking time! Thanks!
