Setting Up Your Guitar: An Illustrated Walk-through

Acoustic Guitar magazine has put together a very nice article on how to set up your acoustic guitar. The article includes instruction on:

• checking the neck for curvature
• adjusting the truss rod
• measuring the action of the neck
• filing down the nut
• removing and sanding the saddle
• filing the saddle to adjust intonation

Although perhaps a bit brief (before someone sands down the saddle on their acoustic guitar for the first time, I'm betting they'll want more than two or three sentences of instruction), this article gives a great overview for guitarists looking to get their acoustics into the best playable condition possible.
