John Carruthers shows us the proper way to adjust the Bridge. This video is step 2 of a 4 part series. Videos include adjusting the Truss Rod, Bridge, Nut and Intonation.
hold on... so when setting up a guitar you FIRST should adjust the action at the bridge and THEN at the nut?
the way i always thought of it is that you should first set the nut and the action at the 1st fret and then adjust the bridge, truss rod and pickups. the reason being the fact that the nut is the only thing that is not "over-and-over-again" adjustable. once you file the nut down, thats it.

@MimicDaravon No standard spelling ? That means it's spelled incorrectly.. The word has a pronunciation, it does not require a new one. Education!!!

@365Avalon Heighth is a legitimate nonstandard spelling (and pronunciation) of height.
