And it was piss easy compared to my Strat. When I got my first Warmoth (Strat), I had tried to assemble it, and epically failed at the setup (string height). Ended up paying a guy to do it. Figured the same would be true for my VIP, so I paid a guy again.
On a whim this evening, I decided to try and set up my VIP with 12s tuned to D Standard. I just popped the strings on there, lowered the bridge posts until the strings touched the 22nd fret, and slowly moved it up until I got no fret out in the upper registers. From there I tweaked the truss rod to where it needed to be for fret buzz, and set the intonation (which is a real biotch) and I was good to go! It plays just as good as it did when the tech set it up, and it sounds awesome, so yeah. I'm feeling really accomplished now. :toothy12:
