I find set up from scratch just a process of sneaking up on the best compromise between nut height, saddle height, relief, intonation and trem adjustment (if you have one). I find it kind of meditative. Kinda. It’s satisfying to start with a mess and home in on something approaching decent.
It’s way more annoying when you have a guitar that DID play perfectly and has drifted into fret buzz in only a few spots on the neck or whatever, and you’re not sure which of those variables to start with. Especially if everything else feels fine. The fear of making it worse always makes me defer from attempting to sort it.
My SG is very much in this camp. Is it the humidity? Do I raise the whole bridge? How’s the relief? Gah. Annoying.
