I have a Fender Standard Strat that I just took to Grover Jackson's shop in Laguna Hills, CA. For anyone who doesn't know Grover was the original founder and inventor of Jackson Guitars. They did a PLEK job and set up on my neck and all I can say is "it is awesome". The action is so low it is unbelievable and no fret buzz. I was able to blow through a couple of new levels on the scales with a metronome at levels I was really struggling on before. I could go to a guitar store and put my guitar against other strats that are multiple thousands of dollars and at least as far as the action goes, I have not found any set up as nice as this. Google PLEKing if you are unfamiliar. It's like a lazer guided fret job. You still have to have a master Lutheir though, the machine is only as good as the person using it. Not cheap, but I can't recommend it enough. I thought my PRS was awesome, but now my MIM strat blows it away. The PRS is next once I save up some more $$$.

Interesting video, but condoning the cost may need a lot of research.
