Find a buddy who can show you how to set it up yourself. I found a pro who let me watch it once and, though I was very thankful to him, I never had to take a guitar to a pro again. It's not that hard to DIY and, when you really have it down, it gives you a little more understanding of how it all comes together. What I could never figure out is how some of these guys can tune a single string the middle of a song. I remember seeing Yngwie in a club long ago and, as he uses vintage Strats and beats the hell out of them, they're always going out of tune. It was amazing to watch him just shredding some solo and then reach up and turn a tuning peg in a fraction of a second and come right back in.
