^^ That's a pretty good duide... it's from the Fender site so you can trust it. However, they're showing you the factory spec way to do it. That's the way their techs do it before the guitar goes out. This gives them the best overall consistency in their product... It may not be the best set up for you specific guitar. I suggest picking up "The Guitar Players Repair Guide" by Dan Erlewine.... He's probably the most well known guitar guru when it comes to anything tech related... He's Stewart-McDonalds lead consultant now... and he use to own an infinitely famous shop called the Guitar Hospital in Michigan known for restoring vintage guitar that were thought to be unrepairable...

I do a lot of set-ups on a lot of guitars... and I own a few American Strats my self... I could write a step by step for you but it would take me quite awhile... I suggest this book because it's got a TON of good info for anyone wanting to get into doing their own tech work. It covers everythng from regular maintenance, finishin, nuts, necks, to set-ups... and it's geared around Stras mostly. Go out and grab it!!! good luck
