I just purchased my new SG Muse a few days ago.

Since it is new in box, I am sure it can use some adjustments so it plays properly.

I am wondering if a new player like myself, can do a basic setup, or if anyone is aware of a good & thorough video or documention on the full process.

I have all the major tools, Fret files, polish and erasers. Radius gauge, action ruler, feeler gauges, fretboard guards, grinding stone. Rocker leveling tool, sandpaper, notched straight edge. etc.

I am just a little concerned about trying to do anything myself, cause I don't want to mess it up. I know I can take it somewhere. to be done, but I wouldn't learn anything that way... but is that the best option for a new player, and worry about that sort of stuff later on down the road?

Any suggestions from veteran guitarists?
