How far would anyone here go to self-maintain their own guitars? One of the best techs here in the U.K. charges roughly the equivalent of $80 per hour for just a string change, bridge and trussrod adjustments.

I bought myself an expensive toolkit and other maintenance supplies (a less expensive alternative to their extortionate fees) and I'm now studying extensively and passionately how to maintain my own instruments.

So how far would others really go to self-maintain their guitars? Is anyone brave enough to delve into the inner workings of an electric guitar or would any of you stop at the bridge and neck?
