Hey all,
I've tried many many times to adjust my action in the past and I had it at a pretty comfortable place for a long time but i recently had to remove the bridge to repair a pickup wire and now ive got to work at getting it good again.

My question for you all is: Is there any trick, or step by step method to getting the perfect combination of bridge height and truss rod adjustment?

btw I have a gibson sg special with the standard tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar.

PS i apologize if this question has been posted before but I did a search and came up with like 200 results and I'm about to go out so couldnt really skim through them all.

Thanks,
J.
