You can get away without the action gauge if you don't have one; just set it as low or high as you like as long as you don't have any fret buzz. |
I know enough to do it myself and have been tweaking everything over the years including intonation, etc. but I think since it's been 10 years, I'd rather have a reliable professional have a look at it because there may have been things wrong with it that I don't know about or some parts to replace or something that I'm doing wrong or could be improved.
