I am still somewhat unsure with the why & how of neck/action set up.
So I am considering buying one of the dvds I see available. The Ken Everett or Dan Erelwine?
Any opinions?

Kent Everett's setup DVD is a good one.

Mike, here's a link I found here on the OLF awhile back from Bryan Kimsey's site: http://www.bryankimsey.com/setup/index.htm

A lot of players like a lot of different set-ups. I think Bryan's measurements are a great place to start.

Good Luck, Andrew

To quickly understand the various elements of "set up", check youtube (eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvuahP-ZO-c )
Also, your library will probably have a few books that explain the process. (Getting the rundown from several different sources is helpful).
