I got this to remind myself of some of the basics. It does what it promises, but while the setup part is *really* basic, the electronics part is not for the beginner. If you don't mind the imbalance, a worthy guide to have handy. (Although all of this is on YouTube nowadays, of course).

Good reference for electric and acoustic guitar setup. Nice to have the steps in one place. I do think that it should include fret leveling, polishing, and fret end filing though.
