This is how I set up my Strat - Neck relief, action and intonation.

This is a step by step guide to how I set up my Fender American Standard Stratocaster, 2014.
In this video I talk you through my regular routine of cleaning the fretboard, balancing the tremolo bar, adjusting the neck relief, setting intonation and string action.

I know many players who avoid adjusting their truss rod out of fear of causing damage and instead of setting their guitars up themselves they take it to a luthier for simple adjustments. I really hope this video will inspire you to start experimenting with your own setup.

We all know what it is like to have to wait for a guitar for weeks and then getting very disappointed once it returns from the luthier so I thought I'd share these tips I have learnt over the years and hope you guys find them useful.
